Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho made a tremendous point about the term "greatest of all time" in his tweet. People are quick to label athletes as the best of all time.

Curry has earned the right to be called that for his sustained success, averaging 20 or more points every season since 2012.

There are only a handful of legends playing in the NBA right now, and Curry is unquestionably one of them.

Speaking of legends, the leading receiver in NFL history, Jerry Rice, congratulated Curry. Rice is a 49ers legend, so the Bay Area respect between the teams continued here.

Another Seahawks player, Tyler Lockett, congratulated the seven-time All-Star as well.

Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns recognized Curry's influence on the game in his congratulatory tweet. Steph Curry brought the three-point shot to the forefront of what NBA scouts and coaches alike look for in a player.

Steph Curry's record may never be beaten, as he still has many years left in his career. Seeing the NFL and NBA connect for Curry's historical moment was a wholesome moment in sports history.
