Jamal Murray handled a recent interview with Richard Jefferson very politely. Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports

Video of a hilarious reaction Jamal Murray had when speaking with Richard Jefferson in a recent postgame interview went viral on Monday.

Murray scored 25 points in his Denver Nuggets’ 122-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 14. After the game, he participated in a postgame interview. But Murray didn’t know who his interviewer was. He was stunned to hear the interviewer sternly tell him not to “yessir” him.

And who was on the other end of the interview? Jefferson. Stay until the end for Murray’s smile.

Murray himself enjoyed the video and tweeted about it.

The catch is that Jefferson is now a broadcaster after retiring from the NBA three years ago. He spent his final season in 2017-2018 with the Nuggets, which was Murray’s second season with the team.

Obviously Murray did not realize it was his former teammate doing the interview and was stunned to hear someone talk to him like that.

As we’ve seen, Jefferson can be pretty witty at a moment’s notice.
