NBA Star Turns Trick Shot Into Fan Reward

Curry combines Twitter, YouTube and Facebook in latest monthly fan contest.

  1. On the 30th of each month, NBA fans eagerly await the announcement. They wonder -- what's the challenge this time? And most importantly -- What can we win?

    The #SC30 contests put on by Warriors guard Stephen Curry have allowed the NBA star to creatively connect with his fan base. He's asked them to sing, he's asked them to write, and in return, winners have received prizes including autographs, memorabilia and a 1-on-1 video chat.

    With January coming to a close, Curry wanted to give his fans a head-start on their next challenge, so he announced details and rules of the new #SC30 contest a few days early.

  3. Shortly after the request for most creative H-O-R-S-E shots went out, the first entry threw down the gauntlet. 
  4. @StephenCurry30 Thanks for the RT. It made Hagen's day! We're excited to see you in TO 4 his first game floor row 2 #LetsGoWarriors #SC30
  5. In just a few hours, Hagen's H-O-R-S-E shot flew past 1,000 views on YouTube. But that was just the start. When Social Media news blog @Mashable picked up on Curry's contest, Hagen's embedded video received more than 5,000 views.
  6. Throughout the weekend, fans worked on their best H-O-R-S-E shots.

    Some had to be patient...
