At the end of the first quarter of the Warriors’ victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, Steph Curry pierced a 3 points left wing to tie the game at 22 each.
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 number 2 of all time with 2,560 3s – took to social media to congratulate the Golden State superstar.
“Welcome to the fam @ StephenCurry30,” tweeted Miller. “Ray and I have been waiting for you .. It’s only a matter of weeks before you pass me with your eyes on Jesus Shuttlesworth .. You are the best who has done this, keep letting it FLY .. #ShootersShoot”

Ray Allen is No. 1 in league history with 2,973 points from 3 points. If everything goes according to plan, Curry will replace Allen sometime in the next season.
The two-time NBA MVP is already No. 1 of all time in the playoff 3s with 470 (LeBron James is second with 414).
Curry got off to a slow start on Sunday in Chicago, with just 14 points out of 2 out of 10 shots beyond the hoop, with just over two minutes left in the third quarter. But he caught fire, finishing with 36 points out of 5 out of 15.
