Mayoral candidate and former NBA great Dave Bing said Wednesday it was "not correct" when he earlier claimed to have earned a master's degree in business administration. But the claim made on a tape touting education and staying in school was meant to be interpreted in a different manner, Bing told The Associated Press.
The founder and chairman of the Bing Group, a steel manufacturing operation and auto supplier, was responding to a Detroit Free Press story revealing he didn't earn an MBA from General Motors Institute, now called Kettering University in Flint, as he said on the tape.

The newspaper also reported that Bing didn’t receive his bachelor’s degree in 1966 from Syracuse University in central New York, as the former college star also claimed. Syracuse spokesman Kevin Morrow said Bing got his degree in economics in 1995, after he completed additional coursework.
And I was an admiral in the Turkish navy ... got the medal right here.
Well, gollee, Dave, if you really, really, FELT THAT WAY, then I guess it's OK.
Feelllings!!! Nothing more than feeelllingssss.
He meant to say he was going to watch the Masters golf tournament....
It’s DETROIT, folks..
What the hell difference could it make who runs that black hole?
He’s black and played basketball — in Detroit that’s all he needs, in addition to YOUR TAX MONEY.
Cripes, with double talking BS like that, the guy should set his sights on a POTUS run in 2012.....
Hmmmm, wonder if the Obamaloon has any degrees. His performance thus far makes W look like a Rhodes Scholar. (A real one, not one who never graduated from Oxford a la Clinton.)
Nope over qualified. He actually ran a company successfully after being in the NBA.
Wants to be Mayor of Detroit. That’s kind of like being the Mayor of Heroshima after we dropped the bomb.
“When I made references to an MBA it wasn’t that I went there and got it, but through what I had done.”
Got a surgery coming up. Must remember to check some diplomas that were on the wall.
Dave Bing is a serious businessman. I would ease up on him. The average home sale in Detroit is $7000. Bing cannot do any worse
Anyone who would willingly want to be mayor of Detroit has issues.
What PARTY does the LIAR belong to?????
He deserves the heckling......
I don't mis-speak like that...And I'd gather, you don't either.
It's a serious gaff.......IMO.
..............Sorry I just cannot tell a lie because I am not a RAT. I'm sorry that I even thought of deceiving you.
“It’s a serious gaff.......IMO”
This was not a gaffe. It was an outright ,calculated, previously spewed lie.
Only because I do not know Bing's history.....
Thanks-
That was a disapointment. I thought Bing was better than the rest of the candidates for hizzoner.
