Inconceivable!

No, not that the Oklahoma City Thunder's James Harden won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, given to the most valuable player on a team who usually doesn't start a game. Watch more than five Thunder games and you'll be convinced he's earned the honor.

Harden got 115 of 119 first-place votes. That means there are four people who watch the NBA regularly who did not give Harden top billing on their ballots. And that means that the NBA has given four voting spots to people who are legally incompetent to handle their own affairs, let alone rate basketball play and players. That, you see, is inconceivable.

And yes, in this case that word does mean what I think it means.
