I Tried To Build The Best Defensive Team Of All Time

[@Kinggvfx]

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!

[@Unknowneditz.5]

Kenny just do it -quote from Nike

He needs to do it

[@Prodz9k]

(🤓) actully it’s day 30

[@notaprogamer7282]

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.

[@christophergooding9820]

it's defensive rating which is per 100 possessions, the number of possessions don't matter

[@amandrewwww]

@@christophergooding9820 idk how to explain it but it would help

[@jalenbrunsonfan]

defensive rating is a per possession stat

[@KaseyC.]

@@christophergooding9820 but does 2k accurately track defensive rating?

[@notaprogamer7282]

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.

[@bigboi301slg]

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.

[@blakehyman7609]

Also like slow tempo on offense would help

[@reimixo]

Maybe mess with tendencies a bit too, for example out ad shot 3 tendency to 0, that way he Will take Higher percentage shots,

[@tjioxz]

@@blakehyman7609 Not for rating cause it's per 100 possessions right?

[@liorhendruker1854]

Drtg is per 100 poss so pace doesn't affect it

[@reimixo]

@@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

[@alexreid8883]

Please bring back the Nets series on Kennytoo!

[@thundermateria2847]

@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.

[@aitch5621]

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.

[@JTIsaacson]

Jonathon Isaac not getting picked up in a defense challenge is wild

[@jasperjackson8842]

not really lol

[@TheRealBeatMaster]

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.

[@kylegallo4508]

Kenny’s dyslexia is showing super hard in this vid

[@felipelayun3829]

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

[@Knuqles707]

Challenge: do 14-15 fantasy drafts and build a team with the last overall picks of each draft

[@roberthammer9157]

Day 1: the great equalizer challenge. Try to build a league of 30 teams where every single team goes 41-41.

[@lucasdunham514]

That’s cool but woukd be so hard

[@roberthammer9157]

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

[@Prypak]

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

[@clarence9230]

“97 year old lebron James” 😂😂

[@andreecelis2093]

Do this challenge in the Jordan era (Fantasy draft)

[@cheese3enjoyer]

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?

[@sherlock4791]

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

[@McDill6]

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

[@bardocksupersaiyan3]

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

[@jeremiahdaley8126]

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.

[@omdaent.4533]

@DatsonOf2… Cuz Kenny .. Come on man lol 😂

[@XxCR4ZYxLIONSxX]

@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!!

[@J3raser]

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)

[@jaybeecu]

Try it with the all time rosters

You should definitely run it back

[@MilesHutcheson-eq8cr]

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. 👍👍👍👍

[@damianpoehnelt2020]

@W14397 Thanks for another great one, Kenny!

[@dokkanvids]

Im confused is a low rating like 90 something good or is like 100 something good??

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.

[@YCG_KAIDEN]

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

[@Keplin1000]

@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.

Defensive rating is pace adjusted.

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

[@ChiTownMade]

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.

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

[@damiensaalfrank8999]

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.
