\n

\u201cReal Time\u201d host Bill Maher<\/a> made an enticing offer to President Donald Trump<\/a> on Friday to steer him away from attending Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cGame 5 is tomorrow night, and Trump is not going. He went to Game 3, and they lost,\u201d Maher said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He went on, \u201cThe Knicks had a 13-game winning streak in the playoffs. That\u2019s almost unheard of. Then he went, they lost<\/a>. I\u2019m not saying he made them lose. I am saying I\u2019m offering a million dollars not to go to this game.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maher, who is originally from New York and is a Knicks fan, quickly clarified that he was joking, so as not to open himself up to another lawsuit from the president. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a joke by the way,\u201d Maher said. \u201cPlease, that is a joke, because last time I offered money like that, I got sued.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump would eventually drop that lawsuit against Maher. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
