basketball legend, Michael Jordan, has admitted that sometimes his love of gambling got him into some 'stupid situtations'.

Apparantly, he put his gambling down to his 'drive to win' and sometimes he pushed it so hard, he couldn't walk away.

Or so he says in a CBS interview for '60 minutes'

However, Jordan also qualifies these statements by saying his gambling never jeopardised his career or his family.

Thats nice of Mr Jordan for letting us know - but if nothing came of his gambling, who cares? Of course - Must be something to do with a new book he's written - or am I just too cynical?
