Irving’s stats speak to the quality of his play (18.5 points per game, 5.4 assists per game and 40% 3-point shooting) but the first year pro’s leadership and coolness on the court speak to the quality of his character.

<![CDATA[James Harden Wins NBA Sixth Man Award]]> http://www.skullcandy.com.au/blog/2012/05/11/james-harden-wins-nba-sixth-man-award http://www.skullcandy.com/james-harden-wins-nba-sixth-man-award#When:04:50:59Z We have even more respect for the beard now that our own crew member, James Harden, has won the NBA Sixth Man Award. Harden came off the bench to score in double figures in almost every one of the 62 games of the 2011-12 strike shortened season. Plus, he had respectable numbers all the way around in rebounds, assists and shooting. It’s no surprise that Harden was the runaway winner of the award, with 115 of a possible 119 first-place votes.
