ESPN still likes its Dave Chappelle/Novak Djokovic joke
It’s hard to find things that work with the name “Djokovic” okay?!

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s not easy to find a good joke for Novak Djokovic. Internet ryhming generators tell us that nothing rhymes with Djokovoic ... nothing. Luckily Robert Flores of ESPN found one he really liked, “choke a (expletive)” riffing off a Wayne Brady sketch from Chappelle’s Show back in 2004.
Flores liked it so much that Sunday wasn’t the first time he used the gag. He did it three and a half years ago too.
Don’t believe us? Take a look at the upload date.
One of two things happened here. Either Flores completely forgot he used the joke which is 100 percent possible and totally fine, or ESPN is slowly being taken over by Chris Berman -- which is a far scarier reality.
As it turns out Flores was completely aware of what he was doing and seemingly amped to say the line again.
That's happening regardless RT @jadande Is @RoFloESPN gonna have to break out his greatest line?
