He did not score "zero" points in any regulation game in which he actually played. And he never reached 70 points in any competitive game. Playing basketball for Laney High School (Wilmington NC), North Carolina university, and the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan had winning shots in both the 1982 NCAA Championship and the NBA Finals. He holds the record for most points scored in an NBA Playoff game (63 in double overtime in 1986). He scored 69 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1990, and his best non-overtime score was 61. He did not equal or beat the 71 point records of David Robinson and Elgin Baylor, the 73 points by David Thompson, the 81 points by Kobe Bryant, or the 100 points scored by Wilt Chamberlain (who has 5 of the Top 10 scoring performances in NBA history).
