Former NBA Star Achieves a ?Lifelong Dream? on ?Price Is Right? That Might Not Be of Much Use

There’s no doubt that achieving something after putting your heart and soul into it brings joy, unlike anything. However, there is also no harm in relishing the opportunity of winning something without having to work hard for it. A former New York Knicks star was recently showered upon with a similar opportunity on the 50-year-old show, The Price is Right. While the former basketball star was overjoyed upon winning the game, he might have to take a moment to think about the price he received.

The Price is Right is a game show that needs no introduction. The iconic game show was first aired in 1972 and completed 9000 episodes back in 2019. One of the most popular hosts, Bob Barker still remains a household name having hosted the show for over three decades.

Former NBA star wins a brand-new car

It has been about a decade since NBA veteran Jared Jeffries made his exit from the league. Drafted in 2002, Jeffries played for 11 seasons before retiring as a Portland Trail Blazers player in 2013. In his decade-long career, the 41-year-old basketball star has earned over $40 million in the league. However, even a billionaire is a human being in the end, and doesn’t everyone love winning something for free?

As per reports from TMZ Sports, in the recent episode of The Price is Right, Jeffries won a brand new Toyota Corolla. Jeffries won the car after playing a game called ‘One Away’, where he guessed the correct price of the Toyota. Upon realizing that he had won the round, Jeffries could not contain his happiness as he ran towards the car while the host, Drew Carey, said, “What a good win! What a good win to start the show! Way to go!”

However, the only issue is that the car might not be able to provide a comfortable space for the 6ft 11inch tower. Nevertheless, the compact size of the car was not enough to deter Jeffries from showing his excitement.

It was a lifelong dream

Following Jared Jeffries’ epic win, a former Indiana University Hoosiers teammate, who goes by the name Jarrad Odle, took to Twitter to post a short clip from the show. The 30 secs video showed the hilarious moment when Jeffries realized he had won the car and began cheering in excitement.

Odle’s caption read, “Dude still makes me laugh.”
