Tony Parker 'almost, almost' cried upon return

SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker ran through embraces and affectionate rubs on the head from teammates like he was scrambling over the tops of screens during pre-game, but the veteran held back the tears Monday for the San Antonio Spurs' 115-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

"No, it was just a lot of emotion, but almost, almost," Parker said, when asked if he shed a tear. "I'm always amazed by all the love from Spurs fans. It's hard to describe the feeling, but I was just very excited and just wanted to thank everybody for all the support.
