Parker sees the world differently these days. After suffering a serious eye injury in a nightclub brawl that nearly cost him a spot on France's Olympic squad, San Antonio's star point guard said the incident has given him a new perspective on life as he and his teammates prepare to face the heavily favored U.S. squad in Sunday's opener.
