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.
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.
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 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
@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.
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.
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
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
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
@tarishgt Honestly given how the NBA is so geared towards 3pt shots these days, that defensive score is incredible! A great change of pace from the usual rebuilds. Super fun 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.
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.
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.
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.
@FlashSpiderman That was a really fun challenge and I'm impressed how close you got. I do wonder if it is possible with other slightly different strategies. Maybe worth just testing different ideas for another video if you're ever willing? Keep being awesome!
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.
the fact that KENNY said "97 YEAR OLD LEBRON JAMES" 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
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.
Really love the idea of this challenge Kenny! Given how the league rules have changed to empower offenses, and the subsequent rise in offensive rating (League average was 107 in 1986, 103 in 2004, and 115 in 2023), I’m not sure how possible it is to break into the 90’s, though I do think it’s a worthy goal to shoot for. If you do decide to go relative to the league, the best mark ever is from the 2004 Pistons (with Rasheed Wallace), who posted a mark 13 points better than league average (90.9). I also think you could beat the Wizards given they are about 7 points ahead or he league.
All u have to do is force non start. Don't change his position, go to edit player, then go to vitals, scroll to the bottom, and there u should c the force non start
@iraqsandtoast if you did the defensive plan specific to each team you might have been able to do it. When you lost to Beal and dame you could have focused on perimeter instead of the paint and it may have helped also maybe double team the stars
Challenge idea: the Chamberlain challenge. 3 seasons to get a player to get a quintuple double. Fantasy draft, trade for and build a team around your guy. Every year you get to add 10 badges of your choosing but you can’t touch there stats.
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.❤❤
when u fail a challenge u should sim it at the end w the best possible team to see if it woulda even been possible in the game. for this vid for ex. shoulda did a re sim at the end w giannis ad gobert lebron etc all together to see if they coulda done it
You could have gameplanned for each team individually. You could have set it so where you packed the paint for teams like the pelicans with scottie and mobley, and then defended the perimeter heavily against teams like the pacers with beal and lillard, and do this for every team.
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
challenge idea: control all 12 teams that haven’t won a championship. you have 20(or whatever you choose) seasons to win a chip with all of those teams.
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
For something like this I gotta look at their defensive tendencies too and try and find players wit like an 80+ shot contest along with the A+ interior/perimeter defense rating
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
Every time i do rebuilds defense always does the best. Ive done best shooters , best dunkers and even best playmakers. Defense always runs a muk on the league
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
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!
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?
Kenny you should try winning a championship with only players you drafted (you can trade for players that the team your playing has previously drafted that got traded too)
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.
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.
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!

Never read these but that's a shout!!

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?

The 3 point thing is a great point
He had a 98, so even then he didn’t beat that…
@@NateTheGreatNDT yeah I was thinking of the 93 from earlier in the vid lol
That Bullets team was pre 3 point line so less point in general. Kerr also had a better coaching defensive rating. Great video!
Bout time we got a defensive typa video. Can't wait to watch🔥
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
Please bring back the Nets series on Kennytoo!

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
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
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.
2:17 mobley only being a 86 interior defense and a 74 perimeter defense is insanely disrespectful
@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
I’ve been sick the past day and this man has entertained me the whole time
Jonathon Isaac not getting picked up in a defense challenge is wild
not really lol

A great change of pace from the usual rebuilds. Super fun 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
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
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.
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
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.

That’s cool but woukd be so hard
@@lucasdunham514 yeah honestly idk if it’s even possible but it would be awesome for Kenny to try 😭

How do you do fantasy draft with only current players? It always put all time players in it
@WDPig1
Close but no cigar. Always appreciate you going outta your way to take on actually hard challenges lol, that’s what makes you a legend!
Challenge: do 14-15 fantasy drafts and build a team with the last overall picks of each draft
og anunoby's defense is so underrated in 2k
Do a team of the biggest players in NBA history and see how good they are

You should simulate until an entire franchise retires every number
challenge idea: control all 12 teams that haven’t won a championship. you have 20(or whatever you choose) seasons to win a chip with all of those teams.
Last Chance Challenge: you assemble the best team of ringless players for one last chance at a championship. You only have ONE season to make it work.

Was hyped during that run of 70s and 80s in the middle, round 2 time
its the pace kenny!!!
For something like this I gotta look at their defensive tendencies too and try and find players wit like an 80+ shot contest along with the A+ interior/perimeter defense rating
In the league meeting change the shot clock to longer
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
Needed to make the offense patient so they do get as many opportunities
You need ben Simmons running pg

You probably could’ve done something with your offensive tempos to further limit the possessions the other teams get against you.
Im confused is a low rating like 90 something good or is like 100 something good??

Watching this video for the first time and seeing Jrue on the Blazers just hours after he was traded there is a crazy coincidence lmao
need the offensive rebound to no one crash, just go back
some crash some go back will leave the bigman behind on defense
and it tires them too
Could you not do the reverse trade finder for Green and Davis at the same time?
cavs warriors is inevitable
