He had earlier revealed he held a "lifelong dream" to be on the iconic game show.

Jared was a college star for the Indiana University Hoosiers and was lauded as the Big Ten MVP in 2002.

He was taken as the 11th overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the NBA Draft later that year.

But few basketball fans were prepared for Jeffries' surprise cameo on The Price is Right on January 9.

To win the star prize car, the former Knick had to guess its value.

And he smashed his prediction with $22,376, landing a free motor in the process.

Fans however were quick to point out one small problem with his new whip.

One laughed: "Bro won’t even fit in it."

Another added: "Former #iubb star Jared Jeffries is not going to fit in that car, I don’t think."

While a third said: "All I keep thinking is he don't fit in it..."

And a fourth chuckled: "At 6’4, I cannot comfortably fit inside a Corolla.. he’ll find out."
