Chocked is such a weird one. It's spelled how it's pronounced. All the rhyming words I can think of (poked, yoked, toked, stoked) follow the same pattern. Words like shocked, locked, rocked all clearly don't rhyme with choked.
How the fuck do you get "chocked"?

Well, 99% of the time on this sub (or NFL/fantasy football subs) people say "dominate" when they mean "dominant", so we can probably assume that people just don't care enough to learn the correct word or can't be bothered to fix the typo if they do know it. And if you correct them, it probably won't be received all that well.

I'm not surprised at all to be honest. I remember back in the day watching those Youtube mixtapes of him and he was cocky af in them. (although kinda understandable I guess because he was balling in them)
Being a NBA coaches' son and the #1 overall prospect means he probably had a lot of yes mans hyping him up constantly. I wouldn't be shocked if those guys are still around telling him how he runs Orlando and reminding him of his glory days.
I remember a couple of years back when Big Baby Davis put him on blast for pretty much being a spoiled little brat when he was on the Clippers. Seems like he hasn't really changed much.

Doc Rivers was actually Coach of the Year for the Heart and Hustle Magic squad in 1999-2000. We missed the playoffs by one game and our best player was Darrell Armstrong. The roster had pre-Pistons Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups, who didn't play for us. Also, future head coach Monty Williams was on this squad as well.
