He scored on everyone, especially big and tough defenders, who were 6'7" and over.
This is a list of guys from 1984 to 2003 that the GOAT scored on. They were all tough defenders and since you could hand check back then, it was tougher for him to score on these physical players.
So much for Jordan not having great small competition, when we all knew he took it to the hole.
These are not exactly in order, but we go from OK to great defenders who could not stop MJ; all bigger than he was (MJ was 6'5")
