Shaq, 52, asserted that the gift was an homage to Redd Foxx’s character, Fred Sanford, the main character in Sanford and Son. Barkley was celebrating his 62nd birthday when he gave him the coat.
According to Shaq, the coat was a “red fox” that resembled the main character on the program. Then, as Barkley began dancing to some music on the set, he draped it over him.
Shaq was heard yelling “Hands on your knees” as the birthday youngster delighted in his gift. Shaq, meanwhile, is said to have recently agreed to a new $15 million contract with TNT Sports.
TNT’s Inside the NBA team will remain together under his new contract, even though the network will no longer have the rights to show live games.
ESPN will be joined by NBC Sports and Amazon Prime Video as official broadcast partners for the upcoming season.
