Basketball player Nigel Hayes realized this after he was embarrassed in front of a group of reporters.

Seeing sports reporter Debra Bollman, the Wisconsin player turns to his colleague and says: "How beautiful she is," reports the Telegraph.

Someone confirmed that everyone heard this, and the basketball player covered his face in shame.

Hayes was talking about this girl in the photo, while he was talking "secretly" with basketball player Frank Kaminsky. /Telegraph/
