Many fans reacted to the news on social media.

Via @JakeF1211: "That's a fair rating, but there's 8 guys 96 plus? That seems high. Giannis, Jokic, and Lebron are fair. Maybe Steph or Luka if we're being generous. I can't think of who else would be there? Kawhi? Embiid? Shai? Edwards? KD? They aren't 96 level. Especially if Tatum is a 95."
