Until Thursday, the only award former Arizona State star
James Harden had "won" was a proclamation from The
Basketball Jones that he was the NBA's biggest
hipster.
That's all changed now, as the third-year star for the Oklahoma City Thunder was announced as the 2011-12 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
Harden averaged a career-high 16.8 points and 4.1 rebounds for OKC as they posted a 47-19 record -- good for the second-best record in the Western Conference. The 22-year-old southpaw has increased those numbers in the postseason, pumping in 18.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in a four-game sweep of the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.
Harden becomes the first Arizona State product to win the award.
