![“It [would have] been very difficult. As I said, the rules ... but if the rules were put in place back when Michael Jordan was in his prime - no hand-checking, the game was more geared toward offense, wanting to promote scoring in the game - he could have probably got close. He did score 69.” quote by Scottie Pippen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0b2/scottie-pippen-2516_back-when_it-would-have-been-very-difficult-as-i-s_2308261.jpg)
