what's the most points michael jordan has scored in a game?

Hi tranmerica,

The most points Michael Jordan has scored in a game is 69.

"Contrary to popular belief, Jordan does not hold the regular season
single game scoring record. Wilt Chamberlin has the highest at 100,
followed by Kobe Bryant at 81, David Thompson at 73, and David
Robinson at 71. Jordans single game scoring high was 69 points, making
his the fifth highest single game scoring record in history."

This doesn't affect the answer, but I just wanted to point out that
the information contained in the first quote from imdb.com is somewhat
erroneous as it ignores Elgin Baylor's 71 and the other 70+ point
games which Chamberlain had.
