Day 29: The Rooks Idea: Turn every NBA player back to rookies. Do a fantasy draft and win the championship in 3 years. You could also simulate further to see what the league looks like. Good luck Kenny!
Kenny you could have also tried to set the coaches pace to being slower so that it slows the game down, and the other team gets less opportunities to score.
Kenny you can probably do this challenge but you need scorers on your team too. The more shots you miss when you're on offense, the more scoring opportunities you give the other teams. So mix in more two way guys with the defensive studs when you run this one back.
@@liorhendruker1854 3 Pointers do, idk how to go around that unless u set the entire league 3 Point tendencies to 0, because if u give up 45 points from 3, that's 15 extra points than when that 91.3 drtg happened, that can pretty much be the difference between a 100 and a 90 drtg at the end of the season
The Remote Rebuild Challenge: Choose a team from either conference but don't take control of it. Then choose a team from the other conference and do take control of it. Without having any influence on them it's now the goal to turn the team you don't control into NBA champions by aquiring the players yourself and then trading them over to the other team, building a championship roster for them. If this seems too easy the goal should then be to also rebuild your own team and having both the team you control and the one you remotely rebuilt meet in the finals to see if you can take down the surefire roster you gave them.
idea from Johan : Johan The NBA INFINTY STONES challenge (extremely hard): Compose a starting 5. - One player has to become the all time assist leader. - One player has to become the all-time scoring leader - One player has to become the all-time rebound leader - One player has to become the all-time block leader - One player has to have the most played games of all-time If you can complete it atleast see how close you were to completing it. You are allowed to change tendencies
Vidoe Ideo: Go to every team and give them a created player that does exactly what they need. Need a 1? get a point god! Need rebounding? get great rebounder etc. .. Like a balance patch.. make it as even as possible. Every team around 50% win perc?
If you compare the defensive rating to the rating of the second best defense in the league, you technically beat the challenge. The second best defense in 75 had a rating 93.6 vs a best of 91.3 against 111.4 here with a best of 98
Day 2: Do an all time fantasy draft, every player with their highest in game rating and no duplicate players. The team you draft must consist of the lowest rated players in the draft (can only draft 70-75 overalls) and try and win a ring in under 5 seasons (tip: free agency is Lowkey ur best friend in this challenge)
Do a video, when you lose you have to trade your best player and when you win you have to trade for a 90 plus player and at the end of the trade deadline your team has to be 90 defense 99 offense. 👍👍👍👍
@daznar17 I’ve been watching for the longest time, you definitely come up with the best challenges and are the best content creator in the 2k community
There was no 3-point line in that season for the Bullets so the fact that you got close at all is incredible Edit: The best defensive rating since the 3-point line was added was the 03-04 Spurs with 94.1 so for what it’s worth you beat that! Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: That was earlier in the video you ended up with 98 so still not there but point stands.
You could do it if you switched between paint focus defensively and perimeter based on the other teams strengths, but that would take way longer to do.
@keplin1000 The "on second thought" challenge: turn off trade deadline build a great regular season team (go for the record) Then on the very last day of the season trade 1-14 on the roster Fire the coach and hire a new one with a completely different system Flip the entire team and the coach then win the championship.
Kenny the thing you missed is you had your offensive tempo at neutral. Slow offense = less possession = less opportunity to score Run it back , it's definately doable with the team you built
Day 1 of asking Kenny to do a reversing nba history sim. Basically you start in the magic vs bird era and you reverse the classes so instead of 84 draft class u would do 2022 and would sim like this with draft classes reversed until the 2022-2023 season
You wanna build the best defensive team with current players Heres mine Starting lineup: 1. Jrue Holiday, 2. PG13, 3. Kawhi, 4. Jaren Jackson Jr, 5. AD Bench: 1. Marcus Smart, 2. Caruso, 3. Jimmy Butler, 4. Draymond Green & 5. Rudy Gobert. Aint scoring nun on this team.
Hi Kenny, love the vids as always, got a challenge for you: In NBA history, only once had the Finals MVP been won by a player on the losing team (Jerry West, 1969). I want you to try and do it again.
The triple crown challenge Win the Summer League, be the best team (in the conference is fine if need be) in the G league, and win the NBA championship in the same season. No g league player is allowed to be a higher overall then the highest ranking g league player currently in the game (no clue who that is lol). Also if you wanna make it really interesting you could then tank and do the tournament thingy for the lottery that can pop up in the change rules
You still gotta try the alphabet challenge where for the first 41 games of the season the first player starts with A the second with B and so on. The for the last 41 games you have N and then O and then P and so on.❤❤
feel like it couldve been done if you changed from protect the paint and protect the 3 depending on the roster of the opposition, game where you gave up 75, the team had no shooters and the game where you gave up 138, had dame and beal.
One thing you could try, that would be super annoying, is constantly change your defensive strategy for each opponent. Protect the paint against bad shooting teams, and try and make the shots harder against good shooting teams
The fantasy draft made teams with multiple great scorers like the one with dame and Bradley beal. I'd love to see this tried again with regular teams over a few seasons.
day 1: Let AI create your team for you, tell ChatGPT to create 5 random basketball players, their name, height, and what they excel in, and see how they do.
I have a trick for you to use if you trade for Tyrese Halliburton If you simulate one year then change his position to power forward and still play him at point guard he’ll get to 97 overall within 3-4 years
@noah200326 mycareer community challege Chris Smoove: Splaaaaaash! Trade for a player with a 85+ three point shot and at least ankle breaker silver LSK: Can score from anywhere! must have had a fg percentage of 45+ a 3p percentage of 35+ and a ft percentage of 85+ HoodieShawnn: Finishes like no other, this person must have a 80+ driving dunk and layup Clique Productions: JACOB UNDERWOOD!this player must be 6’6 or shorter and have been in the dunk contest Troydan: Stretch 4, must be 6’8 or taller with the range extender (limitless range i dont have 2k21 so idk if they changed it again) gold Gento: 189 points and 25 rebounds? this player must have averaged 18 point and 8 rebounds for at least 2 seasons in a row at some point in there career CashNasty: “this is ridiculous. i got zero defense” Must have a below average perimeter defense if point guard, shooting guard or small forward and a below average interior defense if power forward or center. Ko_oK_King: he has many builds but i havent included many big men in this challenge, GLASS CLEANER, must have averaged 10+ rebounds with rebound chaser gold AND FINALLY THE GOAT Kenny: POINT FOWARD, must play more than one position, must have averaged 8+ assists twice in his career and must have switched teams in his career.
@ThunderMateria It's super impressive to have that big of a gap between 1st and 2nd DRTG. The 74-75 Bullets were only 3.1 ahead of the Bulls that year.
Day 1: MVP Challenge: Select a team from every era in 2k and trade for the previous and next MVP. For example, in the Magic vs. Bird era, Moses Malone was the previous MVP. Then simulate a year to see who is the MVP for that season and trade for them. Good luck!
Day whatever of asking Kenny to do the broken bones challenge. Turn the injury frequency to 100 and everyone's durability to 0 and try to win a championship. Oh and if you want to make it harder, five minute rebuild. Can confirm, it's hard
Day 6 of asking: simulation idea: run back the 2019-20 season and see who wins the championship! You can use whatever team you want! If you don’t win the championship in the first three seasons that is fine but after that you have to trade your best player! Also you have to use real draft classes up to 2031 if you make it that far!
Anthony Edwards for Anthony Davis straight up is a robbery IRL for the team that's trading AD, lmao and they didn't accept Ant Tre Murphy and a bunch of picks, AD so overrated
Day 3 of suggestion: Do a 5 year “No loyalty” challenge where you build a team that wins a championship and trade every player of that team and win more championships (players can be brought back after new championship is won) the challenge doesn’t start until you get your first ring and doesn’t end unless you win 5 straight or fail doing so
@camronwn I can’t believe how close you were the first half of the season. Maybe a slightly better head coach would help a little bit? Either way, super impressive. Love the videos Kenny!!
Day whatever of asking Kenny to do the fix challenge. You add a legend, of your choosing, to each team. But they have to be a position that fixes that team. So for example the bulls weakest position in the starting lineup is pf, so you'd add Dennis rodman. Have fun and try to win a championship
Day 1. Kenny. A challenge. Take a page from td barret but with NBA 2k. Not a lot of RUclipsrs doing online franchises in 2k. If anyone can make it happen it's kot4q. A franchise where you have to draft a team you can play with. An do a season in either a series or one vid. Maybe a shortened season.
@kingkthegoat1 Play with a lower tempo so that your opps get less possssions. And adjust the defensive pannbasedon who your playing. Itd take longer cuz you cant straight simulate but itd work

(🤓) actully it’s day 30
Kenny you could have also tried to set the coaches pace to being slower so that it slows the game down, and the other team gets less opportunities to score.
it's defensive rating which is per 100 possessions, the number of possessions don't matter
@@christophergooding9820 idk how to explain it but it would help
defensive rating is a per possession stat
@@christophergooding9820 but does 2k accurately track defensive rating?
I understand, now, that Defensive rating is per 100 possessions, but I still believe it will help because it makes getting a stop more valuable.
Kenny you can probably do this challenge but you need scorers on your team too. The more shots you miss when you're on offense, the more scoring opportunities you give the other teams. So mix in more two way guys with the defensive studs when you run this one back.
Also like slow tempo on offense would help
Maybe mess with tendencies a bit too, for example out ad shot 3 tendency to 0, that way he Will take Higher percentage shots,
@@blakehyman7609 Not for rating cause it's per 100 possessions right?

Jonathon Isaac not getting picked up in a defense challenge is wild
not really lol
Kenny’s dyslexia is showing super hard in this vid
You should try to get every starting on your team to an all nba team. It could be an all defensive or all nba as you prefer
Challenge: do 14-15 fantasy drafts and build a team with the last overall picks of each draft
idea from Johan :
Johan
The NBA INFINTY STONES challenge (extremely hard):
Compose a starting 5.
- One player has to become the all time assist leader.
- One player has to become the all-time scoring leader
- One player has to become the all-time rebound leader
- One player has to become the all-time block leader
- One player has to have the most played games of all-time
If you can complete it atleast see how close you were to completing it. You are allowed to change tendencies
“97 year old lebron James” 😂😂

The over try: you have to do a fantasy draft and every single time you lose you have to make a new team try your best Kenny.
@DatsonOf2… Cuz Kenny .. Come on man lol 😂
Day 2: Do an all time fantasy draft, every player with their highest in game rating and no duplicate players. The team you draft must consist of the lowest rated players in the draft (can only draft 70-75 overalls) and try and win a ring in under 5 seasons (tip: free agency is Lowkey ur best friend in this challenge)
@abnerdonta
I think you should’ve gotten a bigger bench
BEN SIMMONS KENNY!
You should definitely run it back
Do a video, when you lose you have to trade your best player and when you win you have to trade for a 90 plus player and at the end of the trade deadline your team has to be 90 defense 99 offense. 👍👍👍👍
Im confused is a low rating like 90 something good or is like 100 something good??
You need Wembi on that team hehe
@YeahRhaf
Draymond at PG and getting Kawhi maybe would change a lot
@mynameis1an
should’ve went for the TimeLord 😏
RANDOM IDEA, TRY TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE MOST INJURY PRONE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE (SALARY CAP MAY BE OFF IF YOU WANT)
I think doing this in a different era would work
@wafflesviolent
I think this challenge is doable. Need a couple coaching tweaks.
@Keefgrief
Damn near impossible challenge in this era 😭
Make a team of all non shooters, max out their three point tendencies and win a chip
The Jordan Poole challenge
2K probably thinks you still have Steph until you start simming lol

I’ve been watching for the longest time, you definitely come up with the best challenges and are the best content creator in the 2k community
@bradenward24
tough to beat a team that didn’t have to guard the 3! great vid as always!
Commenting before the simulation started, so I'll go with Alonzo Mourning Hornets jersey, offense is too high paced to get lower than 91.3
You should show Avery more
@NElstorp
Great video, already looking forward to the next challenge
need to add ben simmons for a point guard
Draft 5 rookies and let them all be on the first rookie team.
@themattmerc_
The fact you got this close is crazy. I need something like this for the P League spinoff MyLeague I’m in
Video idea - Fantasy draft 5 year rebuild but you have to have the first overall pick every year.

@snipa_a
try rebuilding on a random creators sliders 3 year challenge
Video was still amazing

@@NateTheGreatNDT yeah I was thinking of the 93 from earlier in the vid lol
STOP IGNORING THE MIAMI HEAT KENNY😭😭 we’re having a crazy run and you’ve not made 1 video cmon now at least kenny for real
challenge idea: make a team with best 3pt
-best playmaking
best rebounding
and best defense
and see who wins the chip
Rebounding would win because of 2nd chance points and having more possessions also multiple people have determined in 2k rebounding is supreme
Rebounding would win no doubt
You could do it if you switched between paint focus defensively and perimeter based on the other teams strengths, but that would take way longer to do.
Bout time we got a defensive typa video. Can't wait to watch🔥
@keplin1000
The "on second thought" challenge: turn off trade deadline
build a great regular season team (go for the record)
Then on the very last day of the season trade 1-14 on the roster
Fire the coach and hire a new one with a completely different system
Flip the entire team and the coach then win the championship.
This is a solid ass idea
Ima do this and I’ll tell you what happens
@@francesbuchanan2535 thank you, I'm gonna try it out later today in fact
Please bring back the Nets series on Kennytoo!
Kenny the thing you missed is you had your offensive tempo at neutral. Slow offense = less possession = less opportunity to score
Run it back , it's definately doable with the team you built
Hope he sees this
Defensive rating is pace adjusted.
I would have also turned the offensive tempo to a minimum so less points are scored :)
Everyone saying this but defensive rating is per 100 possessions
@legendofwade it might've helped if you tried making offensive tempo slow so the other team would have less possessions
That’s what I was thinking too
It’s all per 100 possessions, so the amount of possessions a team has doesn’t really matter, it all averages to per 100.
@@Mrdonjuliothewicked ahh yeah you right
Kenny, you never disappoint with your videos
Steve Kerr would've provided the type if defensive coaching you need, but he also would've brought out the most offensively for your players
Yeah, the funny part was that Kerr actually had a better defensive rating. I don't know what Kenny was thinking there.
@@rome8180 That's exactly what I thought too. I guess he wanted a coach whose preferred system was defense
Day 1: the great equalizer challenge. Try to build a league of 30 teams where every single team goes 41-41.

Why did you fire Kerr and hire someone with a lower defensive rating? Kerr had an A and the guy you hired was an A-.
You wanna build the best defensive team with current players Heres mine

In NBA history, only once had the Finals MVP been won by a player on the losing team (Jerry West, 1969). I want you to try and do it again.
The triple crown challenge
Win the Summer League, be the best team (in the conference is fine if need be) in the G league, and win the NBA championship in the same season. No g league player is allowed to be a higher overall then the highest ranking g league player currently in the game (no clue who that is lol). Also if you wanna make it really interesting you could then tank and do the tournament thingy for the lottery that can pop up in the change rules

bro fired Steve Kerr jus to hire someone wit a lower overall in defensive coaching😭 Kenny stop overthinking it🤬🤬🤬
feel like it couldve been done if you changed from protect the paint and protect the 3 depending on the roster of the opposition, game where you gave up 75, the team had no shooters and the game where you gave up 138, had dame and beal.
Firing Steve Kerr made me so mad bruh. He’s a better defensive coach than the guy you hired
That Bullets team was pre 3 point line so less point in general. Kerr also had a better coaching defensive rating. Great video!
Video idea: kenny goes to nhl 23 and does a blackhawks rebuild with Connor bedard
One thing you could try, that would be super annoying, is constantly change your defensive strategy for each opponent. Protect the paint against bad shooting teams, and try and make the shots harder against good shooting teams
@KOT4Q this is the solution I believe
@jacketman233
Close enough kenny, that was tough challenge
2:17 mobley only being a 86 interior defense and a 74 perimeter defense is insanely disrespectful
