So, I had to completely redo all of this because there was a bug in the script I wrote to do this. H/T to Chris McAree for doing some digging. Also note that the records are for regular season games only.
Bill Laimbeer and Isiah Thomas have the most wins against Michael Jordan over the course of his career, with 24 wins apiece. Vinnie Johnson comes in just a shade behind them with 23, while Joe Dumars, Charles Barkley, and Dennis Rodman each have 21.
Since all of the aforementioned players only played against Bulls-era Jordan, they're also the players that have the most wins against Jordan during that stretch. In fact, you have to go all the way down to the player with the 15th most wins against Jordan, Reggie Miller, to find a player that played against Jordan during his run with the Wizards.
Kieth Van Horn has the most wins, six, against Wizards-era Jordan. Another 18 players have five wins apiece, and they're all from three teams: the 76ers (including Allen Iverson), the Pistons (including Ben Wallace and Cliff Robinson), and the Nets (including Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson).
Career-journeyman James Edwards posts the best winning percentage against Jordan over the course of his career with a .636 mark over 22 games.[1] Vinnie Johnson (.621 over 37 games) and Dennis Johnson (.619 over 21 games) follow close behind. Since none of these players played against Jordan during his Wizards run, they also have the same records against Jordan when only looking at his time with the Bulls.[2]
A whole host of players (Eric Snow, Greg Buckner, Anthony Peeler, Kevin Garnett, Kendall Gill, John Salmons, and Rasho Nesterovic) never lost to Jordan when he was playing for the Wizards.[3]
Fun Facts:
[1] Minimum qualifications: 13 games played.
[2] Shout-out to Bobby Jones, though, for posting a 6-0 record against Bulls-era Jordan.
[3] Minimum qualifications: 4 games played. Snow and Buckner both went 5-0, the rest all were 4-0.
