News from boston.com:

A man in the Boston area who has been passing himself off as a former NBA player and Sonics front-office employee told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer he is an impostor.

Ronnie Craven of Somerville, Mass., went by the name Jeff Turner. When contacted by the Seattle paper he says he misrepresented himself on an online dating site and lied to women for sex.

Original Somerville News story showing their high quality fact checking:  "A hometown guy has made it big...  In June Craven was hired as the Seattle Supersonics director of player development."

Now the Somerville News is outraged at having been snookered.  Outraged, I tells ya!   "Who do you think you are?  Local man lied to many, including a newspaper"

Yep -- he said that Norton typed something about "Farm Team" and then banned his IP. I told him it's a blessing in disguise not to be able to join the fray. But now all the comments are gone. It's a little like watching a train wreck.
