Before Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Bulls guard Jimmy Butler was a special guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” The ABC talk show held a game night segment called “Sink it or Swim,” which is another form of dunk tank.

Butler had a chance to sink a basketball and put Jimmy Kimmel at the bottom of the dunk tank.

Kimmel couldn’t even come close to making a shot, while Butler hit three in a row. Next time, the TV host shouldn’t invite a professional basketball player to shoot against him.

Butler has been hanging out with the Hollywood celebrities lately, such as Kimmel and Mark Wahlberg.
