Draymond Green is only human. And as with most humans, awkward expressions or incidents are inevitable from time to time. The problem for athletes, of course, is that their incidents (like Green's famous presser stare) are much more likely to be caught on camera.Of course spectators are usually the beneficiaries of these moments. So, for your viewing pleasure, behold a lighthearted collection of athletes caught looking awkward on television. You're welcome.Honorable MentionsNew England's Bill Belichick and Ohio State's Urban Meyer are football coaches, not athletes, so they get honorable mentions here. But it seemed wrong not to include Meyer's classic "left hanging" at the draft moment and Belichick's digging-for-gold nose pick. Kent Bazemore Asleep'Kent Bazemore probably didn't make it full REM (or even doze off at all) during his Atlanta Hawks' blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Still, the fact that people actually questioned his wakefulness during a live basketball game is troublesome (and hilarious). Carlos Gomez Makes It WorseHouston Astros outfielder Carlos Gomez thought he could kick a loose piece of outfield wall back into place. He was wrong.Wayne Gretzky on the Kiss CamWayne Gretzky isn't currently playing professional hockey, but he's a retired athlete, so he counts. Plus, his awkward Kiss Cam moment was too good not to include. The Great One, denied by his wife. Classic.Kevin Durant Getting Ready to 'Work'Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant was caught dancing to Rihanna's "Work" before a game in March. ("Caught" is used loosely here because Durant did this out in the open, seemingly not caring who saw.) And who can blame him really' "Work" is boss.Carli Lloyd Re: Cristiano RonaldoA lot of people would probably feel starstruck around Cristiano Ronaldo, but U.S. soccer star Carli Lloyd has a history of disliking the guy on social media. So, her expression when the Portuguese footballer passed by at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in January was awkward enough. That little nugget of background information just made it more awkward.Josh Richardson's VideobombAccidental videobombs make for fantastic awkward moments. (Just askPete Carroll.) Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson provided just such a moment in April when he inadvertently strolled into a live taping on Fox Sports. The best part' He was distracted by his phone during the event in question.Justin Williams Dances to 'Cotton-Eye Joe'Here is Conn Smythe winner Justin Williams of the Washington Capitals just grooving to the music at Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre in March. The best is the bit near the end when he realized he was caught. "Cotton-Eye Joe" is a catchy song guys!Jordan Spieth and the Jacket CeremonyPoor Jordan Spieth. Not only did he crash and burn on the back nine of the Masters, but as defending champion, he had to put the green jacket on someone else. Spieth actually handled the situation with Danny Willett as well as could be expected, but, one, he almost tripped. And two, of course cameras caught his dejected, that-should-be-me stare. In his defense, it would be really hard not to look awkward in that spot.Draymond's Blank StareIn a very un-Draymond Green-like move, the Golden State Warriors forward let teammate Festus Ezeli do all the talking after a win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Or, more accurately, he temporarily zoned out right in front of the cameras. People noticed, as they do, but Green had a good sense of humor about the whole thing.Eli Manning at the Super BowlAnd here it is, folks, the granddaddy of all "caught on TV" sports moments. Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos had just scored a touchdown to all but lock up Super Bowl 50, and his younger brother Eli could not have looked less impressed if he were McKayla Maroney herself.
