Reggie calls Steph the GOAT shooter in congratulatory message

Late in the first quarter of the Warriors' win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, Steph Curry drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing to tie the game at 22 apiece.

The triple was the 2,500th of his career, making him the third player in NBA history to make at least 2,500 3s.

Shortly after Curry joined the exclusive club, Reggie Miller -- who is No. 2 all-time with 2,560 3s -- took to social media to congratulate Golden State's superstar.

Curry got off to a slow start Sunday in Chicago, as he had just 14 points on 2-for-10 shooting from beyond the arc with a little over two minutes remaining in the third quarter. But he caught fire, finishing with 36 points on 5-for-15 from distance.
