NBA legend Bill Walton left Richard Jefferson absolutely speechless as the latter made an effort to interview him. After a single question being asked, Walton went on an epic rant that saw Jefferson crack up on National TV.

Bill Walton is widely regarded as one of the greatest big men of all-time. Outside of his professional playing career, however, Walton also became popular for his commentary.

Frequently joining the broadcasting team for Portland Trail Blazers games, Walton has a unique talent for engaging in conversation, which was evident in a recent NBA TV broadcast when Richard Jefferson attempted to interview him. Right from the beginning, Walton embarked on an epic rant that took on a life of its own, leaving Jefferson struggling to hold back his laughter.

Jefferson can be seen holding back his laughter as the producers were directing him to get the legend back on track. RJ even tweeted the interview later and said:

"When the legend @BillWalton starts speaking, nothing can stop him… even live TV."
