I’m defining superstar as any player that made the NBA’s 75th anniversary team… and Jokic.

1991: Jordan/Pippen

1992: Jordan/Pippen

1993: Jordan/Pippen

1994: Olajuwon

1995: Olajuwon

1996: Jordan/Pippen/Rodman

1997: Jordan/Pippen/Rodman

1998: Jordan/Pippen/Rodman

1999: Duncan/Robinson

2000: Bryant/O’Neal

2001: Bryant/O’Neal

2002: Bryant/O’Neal

2003: Duncan/Robinson

2004: None

2005: Duncan

2006: Wade/O’Neal

2007: Duncan

2008: Pierce/Allen/Garnett

2009: Bryant

2010: Bryant

2011: Nowitski

2012: James/Wade/Allen

2013: James/Wade/Allen

2014: Duncan

2015: Curry

2016: James

2017: Curry/Durant

2018: Curry/Durant

2019: Leonard

2020: James/Davis

2021: Antetokounmpo

2022: Curry

2023: Jokic

Edit: Again, I’m defining superstar as any player on those rosters that made the NBA’s 75th anniversary team (and Jokic). Not saying Duncan was a superstar in 2014 (although he did nearly average a double-double). Playoff experience and superstar pedigree clearly matter.

Besides the arbitrary definition of superstar why randomly stop at 1991 ?
