Bill Maher, suit up!
The comedian and political pundit, 70, found himself part of the action during the Los Angeles Lakers-New York Knicks game when Lakers guard Marcus Smart crashed into him.
The incident occurred in the first half of the game when Smart went after a loose ball. In attempt to save it from going out of bounds, he lost control and fell into the first row of fans before rolling onto the floor.
Maher, among the fans in the front row, was sitting immediately to the left of the ESPN crew, who took the blow from Smart first when he crashed down onto the broadcasters' table.
