FS1 analyst Nick Wright dropped his annual NBA superstars list on Wednesday.
There are 12 superstars in the NBA, according to Wright. They are Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum.
Wright kicked out Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis from his superstars club. Meanwhile, he has Devin Booker, Alperen Sengun, Cade Cunningham and Victor Wembanyama waiting in line to get in.
Wright's superstars club drew plenty of reactions on social media.
"Wemby in Tatum out," one fan wrote.
"Wemby has to be in, KD out. Not even close," a second fan wrote.
"Paolo Banchero should be in line too," a third fan wrote.
Jokic, Antetokounmpo, James, Curry, Durant and Tatum are NBA champions.
Meanwhile, Haliburton, Brunson, Gilgeous-Alexander, Doncic, Mitchell and Edwards are still looking to win their first title.

Jokic, Antetokounmpo, James, Curry and Durant are MVPs and Finals MVPs. All five players will be in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame one day.
Despite being an NBA legend, though, Durant seems to be catching heat for making Wright's list.
"KD doesn't belong. He's been a consistent disappointment for years now," one fan wrote.
"Why is Durant still in there?" another fan asked.
Durant is a two-time champion, a two-time Finals MVP and a one-time MVP. However, he hasn't gotten back to the conference finals since leaving Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the summer of 2019.
KD has also been swept twice in the first round of the postseason since leaving Golden State.
"Are we sure KD still belongs in?" one fan asked.
"I think you got the correct 12, but why isn’t Durant in the Cancun room? He didn’t make the playoffs at all, those three did," another fan said.
From this list, Brunson, Haliburton, Gilgeous-Alexander and Edwards are the only players still playing in this year's playoffs.
