Jordan Brand Chairman, Ex-NBA Exec Admits to Killing Teen in 1965
New York Post ^ | October 14, 2021 | Joshua Rhett Miller

A Nike executive and former Portland Trail Blazers president has admitted killing a teen more than 50 years ago – a secret he kept from powerful friends like Michael Jordan and NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

Larry Miller, who rejoined the Jordan Brand in 2012 after serving in the Blazers’ front office for five years, revealed his long-guarded secret in an exclusive cover story with Sports Illustrated.

The 72-year-old exec now serving as Jordan Brand’s chairman told SI of the 1965 slaying in his corner suite on Nike’s campus in Beaverton, Oregon, where he keeps notes signed by Jordan, as well as autographed boxing gloves from Muhammad Ali and a basketball signed by President Obama.

Was the murder in Philadelphia or Oregon? The story says both......in a caption and in the text.

Also, is there a statute of limitations fir murder? I don’t think there is in certain jurisdictions.

Murder is now legal if you’re black. How nice.

Where is journalism? Larry Miller confesses to a murder he committed with a firearm 40 years ago, when he was a gangbanger, and there is zero comment in the “new article” about how and if murder charges will be brought against him. There is no statue of limitations covering murder.

No statute of limitations on murder.

From the article: He was arrested soon after the slaying, the Daily News reported days later.

Yes but it doesn’t say if he was convicted of the homicide, only that he was in detention until age 30. It might be worth his victim’s while to sue him....He’s probably very wealthy. I wonder if he ever offered them any, uh, reparations....

There is no remorse in his statements. Just “what a relief, I’m glad that’s over!” “My headaches are gone!” Nothing about the boy he killed. It’s all about poor him, having to carry the burden of lying to get jobs for all those years! Think about that.

The base story is in Sports Illustrated and it says: The newspaper reported that police arrested him soon after the shooting, near where it occurred; Miller tossed his .38 when he saw them coming, but they quickly recovered it.

MJ’s dad was shot & murdered by young strangers. If he is forgiving, it’s a big statement.

Yes! If you are a successful liberal they will not charge you.
