For all intents and purposes, Karl-Anthony Towns appears to be doing just fine from a dollars and cents standpoint. The 2016 NBA Rookie of the Year is in the midst of a contract that will pay him $11 million guaranteed through 2019, and he will almost certainly make tens of millions more after that rookie deal expires.

At the same time, no one turns down a chance to win some big cash, and Towns had a chance to do that Sunday night.

Prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Towns appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where he had a chance to make one shot for $1 million. The catch: He had to make the shot across Hollywood Boulevard, which is no small feat.

Go ahead and check out the video below of Towns.

The kid who once preferred playing baseball over basketball showed off a pretty impressive arm in attempting the shot.
