J.R. Smith is the NBA's most stylish man.
While it's hard to crown a true NBA fashion icon through a contest that doesn't include Russell Westbrook or "Swaggy P," Smith was the winner of Saturday's inaugural All-Star All-Style event.
Smith defeated Jeff Teague, Chandler Parsons, DeMarcus Cousins, Klay Thompson, Zach LaVine and James Harden in the three-round event, which was hosted by Carrie Keagan and judged by Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, WNBA player Elena Delle Donne, designer John Elliott and GQ style editor Will Welch.

Never shy, Smith tried to leverage his success in the competition to make a new model friend.
With Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week taking place in New York at the same time as NBA All-Star Weekend, debuting the fashion event in 2015 made perfect sense. It's unclear if this will become an annual tradition or was a one-off with the All-Star festivities in Gotham.
