Selon un article d’ESPN.com, Tony Parker ferait partie des remplaçants au All-Star Game  2006. Le paragraphe est carrément élogieux.

THE CASE: The fans nailed the starters: Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant. Their backups seem just as obvious to me, because Parker has been the Spurs’ best player (yes, better than Tim Duncan) and because Paul is the obvious choice from a Hornets team that has been too surprising and resilient to go without an All-Star. Because coaches tend to shy away from rookies in their voting, there’s a chance that Seattle’s Ray Allen (or perhaps Golden State’s Baron Davis or Sacramento’s Mike Bibby) will wind up bumping Paul. But that would be an injustice. Rookie of the Year isn’t a sufficient reward for the impact Paul has had on the Hornets. He clearly deserves an All-Star nod, too.
