Kenny try a rebuild where every time you lose a game, playoffs not included, you have to lower every player on your team by one overall. If this is too difficult, turn the trade deadline off.
Day three of asking Kenny to the hands on deck challenge here the rules: - Regular fantasy draft - Must make a 13 man rotation - And each player must play ten or more mins - And win a chip in max three years. Like Kenny so can see
Got a challenge for you kenny Day 24: New Found Friends I don't know how hard this challenge will be so here are a couple different ways to execute it. Version 1: No one on your final rotation on your team could be teammates in the past at all. Version 2: No one on your final rotation on your team could be teammates in past 10 years or adjust the years to something you think would be a hard but completable. This is a three year challenge to win the championship but remeber every year you have to rebuild your team because those players will have been teamates. Good Luck Kenny
Day one of asking Kenny to do a new video idea This can be put into a 5 part series. Go to a top 30 list of every position (pg,sg,sf,pf,c) all time or current and put them on their respected teams and multiply them to play 1-5 positions on the roster, then simulate to see who is the best player in their position. You can also add onto the series with the 30 best mvps, roty, dpoy, mip, etc. And as always keep doing what your doing putting a smile on everyone’s faces.
The “And We Back” Challenge, make the previous nba champion, the bucks, into a non playoff team first season WITH NO 85+ OVERALLS, and make them champions 2nd season.
Day 139 of asking Kenny, do the FlightReacts rebuilding challenge, based on his iconic sayings. "Look at Curry Man"- Give yourself the first overall pick in serpentine pick and draft Stephen Curry- then sim rest of draft "Irish Spring Green Green"- Acquire a player with a 85 3 point rating or higher "I Just Didn't Have The Cameras On"- Acquire a player that won MIP as they improved their skills during the offseason with the cameras off "I'll Be Doing That By June"- Acquire a player that was born in June "Hall of Fame School Threat"- "Acquire a player with over 50 technical fouls in their life time career" "That's My Typa Shot"- Since Kenny is a short king you must acquire a short king- just like himself. "And The Rest Are Nobody's"-You must have at least 1 player with an overall, below 70 and must get at least 20 minutes in your rotation "I'm sending that to Madagascar"- Acquire a player with at least an 80 block rating "I Have High Basketball Knowledge"- Acquire a player that went through all 4 years in college "Made Me Happy Made, Me Smile"- Trade for a player of your own choice... and then smile when you agreed to the deal -You should have a total of 10 players on your rotation You must win a championship in your first year if you don't you must subscribe to my channel- pretty fair.
Day 172 of asking Kenny for “The Benchwarmer” challenge So the rules are: -Fantasy Draft -Your Entire team has to be made of players who haven’t started more than 30 games in the 2020-21 season -You must run a 12 man rotation -If you need help you can also use injured players from that year -Win a Chip Good luck!
In honor of Kenny’s new kid: “The Father and Son Challenge”: -Choose 30 father son duos who play/once played in the NBA. For each duo, spin a wheel with all NBA teams and add them to the chosen team (remove teams after they are selected). Then, add the duos in their primes to their selected NBA team in 2K. Simulate a season to see how well they play and how the current teams are affected by it (remove sons who are currently playing). Bonus: Try to predict which team wins the chip. Congrats on becoming a father Kenny!
Video idea: Video game rebuild: Standards: fantasy draft as always and win a championship. 1. Call of Duty: There’s a lot of campers in this game and mainly focused of spray weapons. Get a player that’s an absolute shot chucker with a shot tendency above a 78 and has shot at least 39% from three in one year of their career. 2.PAC-Man: PAC-Man is always chopping away, so get a player that is at least 240lbs 3.Fortnite: one thing that 2k has in commo with this game is that their is “building” so trade for a player with a good blueprint and has an A rating in the playmaking category. 4.Super Mario: Mario is Italian and is always fighting off huge monsters, so trade for a foreign player that has beaten a 90+ overall in a playoff series. 5. Fall guys: This game had one of the quickest drop offs in gaming history, so trade for a player who’s overall has decreased by at lest 4 since the past 2k. 6. Among Us: “There’s an imposter among us” trade for a player that is an 80 overall or below but has hit a game winning shot or has had at least 45 point game. 7. Minecraft: This game takes a lot of dedication to get to the end of the game, so trade for a player that has the legendary work ethic badge and is at least an 89 overall. 8. Sonic: Trade for a player that moves at the speed of sound with at least a 91 rating and has the slippery off ball badge. 9. Pokémon: “Gotta catch em all” trade for a player who’s hands rating is at least a 90 and has lob city catcher or putback boss on at least silver. 10. 2k: Last but not least the game we all know and love......2k. Trade/sign Felicio and make his shot tendency a 95 and give him at least 15 minutes a game. And trade Alec Burks for at least 4 second or first round picks from three different teams. Pls like
Hey Kenny I just had my back surgery and have been watching your vids and they were the first thing to make me happy in weeks and i wanted to thank you for helping me. My pain has been so bad until I watch your vids and I love your vids thank you
Kenny you should be the one to mix it up. Like what if you did a greatest 6 men of all time rebuild challenge? Or an all power forward rebuild. LETS SEE IT😤
Kenny i have a couple of video ideas! First is a worst to first but also winning every award challenge! Bonus if you can do it three years in a row! Second you can spin a wheel or use a random number generator for every tendency im the league and everyone will have the same tendencies. Ex. Three point shot gets a 43 so everyone in the league plays like its the 70s again etc. Love the vids man!
Day 1 Of asking Kenny to do the hardest rebuilding challenge ever Rules: - Fantasy Draft ( you should have the 30th pick on every round ) - Make trade difficulty to 100 - Injuries are on - team chemestry is on - once a player is traded, It should be on your team for atleast 1 season - every best player on every team is untouchuble - No using trade finder - You have 3-4 years to win the championship Good luck Kenny Like so that kenny can see
The "Limited Trade Challenge" - Spin the wheel for a random Team. You take their division standing from this past season and get that many number of trades to try and win a championship. So if they were 1st in their division you get 1 trade to win a championship. If they finished 3rd you get 3 trades.... Etc
Here is a challenge for you Kenny: You have to randomly select a team and do a draft. Once you have your drafted players. You have to choose 5 untouchables which will be chosen by the random number generator and then afterwards sim the season and you have to accept EVERY trade. Good Luck
100% do a sim of legends careers. I've always like watching sims of careers and such (even though 2k can be wild af) Would love to see Kenny do more sims in general :P Always learn a lot, and love the randomness of looking players up to see who they are.
Kinda random but I’d very much like to see this dude Kenny do a longer rebuild challenge, one where he rebuilds a fantasy drafted team (of just current players) and rebuilds it to go 82-0 within a time limit of 10 seasons. Final addition being that you choose or randomly generate the draft year you start with and load the following historic draft classes thereafter the rest of the sim. I feel like he could quite simply do this but I’m sure it’d be fun to watch it unfold🔥 Also, keep up the work Kenny👏🏽
Day 4 of asking Kenny to do the "We love random challenge!" Make a wheel with overalls in sets of ten 99-89 88-78 77-67 etc Whatever set you get use random number generator 1-10 to get the specific overall. Do this for a whole team Rebuild if needed and get a ring
The Big Baller Challenge: Win a championship with the 3 Ball brothers as your "Big 3". This can be a multiple year challenge, but the Big 3 must all be starting and play proper starter minutes.
Don’t know if this has been a video yet, but for each team take any 2 off their all time teams and mesh them together taking the best stats from each, badges, etc. put them back on their team and run it up🔥🔥🔥
CHALLENGE : you should use the 75 anniversary list to choose a starting five. random number generator, but whatever order they get picked, that’s the position they have to play
Day 20 of Asking Kenny to do the Most Impossible NBA2K22 Challenge: Put The 15 All NBA 1st, 2nd, 3rd Team Players in 1 Team and make them all there contract 5 Million Dollars each player per year with a 5 year contract and pick the worst team in the opposite conference and Try to win a Championship in 5 years. Good Luck bro. For me if you completed this challenge @KOT4Q your the best NBA2K Rebuilder by far.
Day 51 of asking Kenny to do the 6-0 rebuild -Fantasy rebuild -no untouchables -You must have a superstar play every minute of the game the first year -every season that you don’t win the championship you must trade your best player -every season you win you can keep one person from the roster on top of whoever is your best player (if you win the second year, you keep the two best players) -after every year you must redraft your team -can’t switch the players positions
Kenny I have no idea what to call this challenge but here it is. Start with a fantasy draft. Rebuild the team to a contender. Everytime you win the chip, relocate On once relocated, you have to trade every single player on your team for someone else. You may not trade for someone twice. Try and win as Many chips in 15 years. Good luck
I would love to see Kenny do a series on this "Legend Fantasy Draft" thing but instead of just simulating, he does what he's been doing on KennyToo with the Kings and just play the games. I feel like that'd be fun to do and enjoyable for us to watch. Would probably get boring for him quick though..
Rebuild idea Assign a random team to each position (1-10). You can only use players that play or played for that team in that position on your team. Goal as always, win the chip!
Doing this but seeing how all the careers work out would be insane! Just would want to make sure to add a “+” or something similar to each player so you can differentiate them from their original counterparts.
Honestly Kenny could talk about anything and I’ll listen. Crazy to think I’ve never met him yet It feels like he’s my homie lol
Bro facts
No cap bro
Just give his podcast a listen, you won't regret it

Got a challenge for you kenny
Day 24: New Found Friends
I don't know how hard this challenge will be so here are a couple different ways to execute it.
Version 1: No one on your final rotation on your team could be teammates in the past at all.
Version 2: No one on your final rotation on your team could be teammates in past 10 years or adjust the years to something you think would be a hard but completable.
This is a three year challenge to win the championship but remeber every year you have to rebuild your team because those players will have been teamates.

I agree
Challenge: put all of the mvps ever in one draft class and see who the true mvp is
Or the last 32 and have each on a different team and every player on the team in 40 overall except the mvps
If KD’s mom isn’t in the draft I ain’t watching

Day 139 of asking Kenny, do the FlightReacts rebuilding challenge, based on his iconic sayings.
"Look at Curry Man"- Give yourself the first overall pick in serpentine pick and draft Stephen Curry- then sim rest of draft
"Irish Spring Green Green"- Acquire a player with a 85 3 point rating or higher
"I Just Didn't Have The Cameras On"- Acquire a player that won MIP as they improved their skills during the offseason with the cameras off
"I'll Be Doing That By June"- Acquire a player that was born in June
"Hall of Fame School Threat"- "Acquire a player with over 50 technical fouls in their life time career"
"That's My Typa Shot"- Since Kenny is a short king you must acquire a short king- just like himself.

"I'm sending that to Madagascar"- Acquire a player with at least an 80 block rating

Thank you for saying so many good things about Sabonis. Us Lithuanians almost dont get recognised anywhere , so this really means very much to us 😁
yesssss we want a career sim of this please
Looked it up for y’all:
Barkley-
No all-defensive teams
Stats looked great first two years
Pretty good the rest of his career
Day 172 of asking Kenny for “The Benchwarmer” challenge
So the rules are:
-Fantasy Draft
-Your Entire team has to be made of players who haven’t started more than 30 games in the 2020-21 season
-You must run a 12 man rotation
-If you need help you can also use injured players from that year
-Win a Chip
Good luck!
Just give him the challenge
Quickest to the HOF Challenge: Make a player 99 overall, have them win all the major awards and make them retire in 5-7 yrs or the average nba player
That career sim idea would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I definitely want to see a full career sim of this
Kenny- how you think we did?
Me- oh i dunno… you just sorta put together the best lineup ever thats all
In honor of Kenny’s new kid: “The Father and Son Challenge”:
-Choose 30 father son duos who play/once played in the NBA. For each duo, spin a wheel with all NBA teams and add them to the chosen team (remove teams after they are selected).

This would be interesting
literally just finished the one you did back in 2k20 you love to see it
Do it kenny, anything you do, i’m watching
You should have a league where you put the all decade teams in and see which one wins the championship
Career sim with all the legends would be so much fun.
These are my favorite videos.
Bro I swear kenny always drops bangers j as I’ve made my food, blessings
The all legends career sim would be ridiculous.

Day 51 of asking Kenny to do the 6-0 rebuild
-Fantasy rebuild
-no untouchables
-You must have a superstar play every minute of the game the first year
-every season that you don’t win the championship you must trade your best player
-every season you win you can keep one person from the roster on top of whoever is your best player (if you win the second year, you keep the two best players)
-after every year you must redraft your team
-can’t switch the players positions
love the alltime career sim thing
this gonna be a banger
Kenny I have no idea what to call this challenge but here it is.
Start with a fantasy draft.
Rebuild the team to a contender.
Everytime you win the chip, relocate
On once relocated, you have to trade every single player on your team for someone else.
You may not trade for someone twice.
Try and win as Many chips in 15 years. Good luck
You should DEFINITELY do that career sim
"Hey Kenny video idea: The challenge is that you have to have a team filled with players drafted from the 2nd round of the nba draft
R.I.P. To all the Legends who died.

Assign a random team to each position (1-10). You can only use players that play or played for that team in that position on your team.
Goal as always, win the chip!
the ending really made me laugh man ive been watching since 2014 still loving the videos
I would enjoy a legends career sim. I think Kenny should spin a wheel of the top 30 legends by overall to see who's career we spectate.
Me as a Laker fan watching him pick the team of my childhood: :)
We definitely want the series bro
Kenny: "Bruce Bowen will not get no pt, but if we need somebody to kick somebody in the face"
My TH-cam ads apparently: "show me the car fax value"
W video today Kenny
Career sim of the whole thing !!!
kenny you should do a challenge of the best of all time for each category. like best shooters, defenders, hight, ectx
It makes my happy to see the Knicks good with shaq and Westbrook
The face Kenny made when he snuck and drafted d rose
Kenny Beecham denying Bulls Wade and Cavs Wade ever happen is deadass a mood. Also, next time do it, upload everyone as a rookie.
Doing this but seeing how all the careers work out would be insane! Just would want to make sure to add a “+” or something similar to each player so you can differentiate them from their original counterparts.
