Almost three and a half years after his Hall of Fame induction speech was widely criticized for being arrogant and petty, Bulls great Michael Jordan says he has no regrets.

"I was really explaining to people about my competitive nature," Jordan tells Ahmad Rashad in an NBA TV "One on One" special airing at 7 p.m. Monday. "Most people say that was the worst speech? OK. That's from your perspective. ... I'll go to the grave thinking, 'I said what


I wanted to say. I'm not going to change it.' "

Jordan touches on numerous subjects, including:

His partnership with Scottie Pippen: "It's not just that I pushed Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen pushed me. It was big brother-little brother scenario. Next thing you know, it's a tandem."

The eliminated Pistons walking off the court in the 1991: "You get your ass whipped, you can walk out of the building any way you want."

His favorite of his six NBA titles: "If I had six kids, it's like asking me which one was my favorite. … If I had to pick one, I'd say the fourth."

Jordan always thought he was a better speaker than he really was. He sometimes said things that didnt come out the way he meant it. If he were smart, he would have had someone write that speech for him.

I most definitely feel this way.

Who is he, the president? Jordan's a pro, not some punk in a suit. His speech was fine.
