James Harden has had one hell of a season off the bench, averaging 16 points per game, leading all reserves and helping the Oklahoma City Thunder claim one of the top spots in the NBA Playoffs.

With all of this, Harden ran away with the Sixth Man of the Year award, receiving 115-of-119 first-place votes.

Honestly, this award doesn't really come to anyone's surprise. Harden easily deserves this, especially after his Game 4 performance against the Dallas Mavericks, where he dropped 29 points.

Congrats, James! You deserve it!
