Jump
As a young adult, Larry Miller found himself in prison twice, once for murder as a juvenile and once for armed robbery. While serving his time, he availed himself of prison education programs and ultimately earned a college degree from Temple University. After his release, he began his career as an accountant at Campbell’s Soup and rapidly climbed the corporate ranks. He soon found himself at Nike working for the Jordan Brand. After Michael Jordan’s basketball retirement, Miller took the helm of the business and grew the company from a $200 million brand to a $3 billion juggernaut. That eventually led him to a role as president of the Portland Trailblazers. Told with poise, grace, and wisdom, Jump is more than just a rags-to-riches narrative—it’s the story of Miller coming to terms with his past and reckoning with the prison industrial complex.
