At sixteen, Nike Executive Larry Miller killed another teen. Now he is finally opening up about his past and his attempts to find forgiveness in his memoirs.
The second, 56 years later as a lauded business executive, brand visionary and friend of Michael Jordan, gave him a new chance to seek redemption.
The intervening decades were clouded by Miller keeping his criminal past secret as he rose far up the corporate ladder, mostly notably leading the Jordan Brand at Nike, as well as heading up the Portland Trail Blazers NBA franchise.
He says he suffered debilitating migraines and nightmares until he decided to open up about his whole life, not just that part lived in the public eye.
"I had nightmares on a regular basis about going back to jail," he tells CNN. "I had incredible migraine headaches and I'm certain that that was all from just trying to hold all this in and being concerned that it might come out. There was always this tension and this fear that somehow this is going to come out and it's going to ruin everything I've built up to this point."
