Jimmy Kimmel has recapped Donald Trump's appearance at the third NBA finals game, breaking down everything from the intense booing he received to the president appearing to drift off during the action.

"He spent who knows how many millions of taxpayer dollars to get there, he goes out like a light," says Kimmel over footage of Trump with his eyes closed. "He slept for a long time.
