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