"Former Bulls forward Dennis ­Rodman, with his hair dyed red, multiple piercings and tattoos, said he hasn't prepared a written acceptance speech when he is inducted into the Naismith Memorial ­Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday night.

"I'm just going to wing it," he said after receiving his Hall of Fame blazer Thursday. "I'm just going to go up there and talk."

Will he cuss?

"Well, I can say 'damn,' right? Or you 'son of a bitch.' They say that on TV, right? I'm not going to cuss. I'm going to keep it clean. But maybe a couple of words may slip out."

On Michael Jordan

"MJ is the only player to have his own wing [in the Hall of Fame]. I'll be lucky to get a 10-by-10."

On being coached by Chuck Daly, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson and

Don Nelson

"If I could cremate all four guys, you could blend them to get the perfect coach."

On being presented by Jackson

"I didn't select him. He selected himself. I wanted my son, DJ, to present me. But they said it had to be a Hall of Famer. Phil called, said, 'Dennis, I'm going to [present] you at the Hall of Fame.' I said, 'OK.' "

The main regret of his career

"That I wasn't a better father to my [three] kids. Just be there [for them] instead of being selfish, the clown, the jester, the look-at-me.""
