09:05 AM ET 10.16 | ChicagoBreakingSports.com asked reporters if Michael Jordan could score 100 points in today's NBA. If Jordan said he would score more points under today's rules, then Michael Jordan would've scored more points. Basically, virtually anything Jordan said he would accomplish, he accomplished. Such was the tenacity and talent of the Greatest Player Of All Time. So many of Jordan's teammates talked about how the player with the most talent also possessed the most competitiveness. That rare combination propelled Jordan to dizzying heights. And that same combination would send his scoring average higher today. Without hand-checking on the perimeter, MJ would've gotten to the rim at will early in his career and would've been even more effective in the post with his turnaround jumper later in his career.

With the way refs call the game today, he would drop 100 at the foul line.

I think today's perimeter defense is better. The Zones are operated more thoroughly and while i think defenses were a lot tougher back then because of the hard play, i think today's defenses are smarter. I don't think Jordan could score 100 on today's Boston team and if he did, he would be playing right into their hands and he would lose every game. I don't even think he could score 60 on the 08' C's, 10' Lakers, 04' Pistons, & 05 Spurs.
Today's championship defenses are designed to beat 1 man shows.
Now if Jordan played the game the right way and didn't try to score 100, the Bulls would SMASH every team in today's NBA by 20 or more.

Sure, I mean he once scored 81 points in a game. Oh wait - that was Kobe!
Check out Bill Simmons Book of Basketball for the reason the Bulls won 72 games, expansion. If he couldn't do it then in the ultimate watered down league there is no way he could do it know with the foreign players adding to the talent pool.
