Shaq, 52, claimed that the gift was a reference to Sanford and Son main character Fred Sanford, who is played by actor Redd Foxx.
He presented the coat to Barkley, who was celebrating his 62nd birthday.
Shaq claimed that the coat was a “red fox” similar to the show’s star actor.
He then draped it over Barkley on the set as he then started dancing to some music.
While the birthday boy enjoyed his present, Shaq could be heard chanting, “Hands on your knees”.
Pundit Kenny Smith also joined in the chanting as he could be heard saying: “Go ahead sexy red.”
Fans loved the hilarious antics as they reacted to the video on social media.

A second wrote: “Best NBA Show ever.”
A third commented: “These four are just friends who get paid to hang out.”
