Introduction

Welcome to my badge guide in NBA2K16!

I play NBA2K since 2013 (2K14) so I definitely know what I'm doing. I did this guide last year as well and due to great feedback, I decided to do it this year as well. I would appreciate if you could thumbs up this guide and share it with your friends. Maybe you want to check out my YouTube as well (Appreciate your visitation) because there will be plenty of NBA2K tutorials in the future. This took many hours to create, so any feedback is great to see. Anyways, I hope this will help you out on your hardcore grind for those lovely badges.

Keep balling,
have fun.

Love ya'll!
