NBA Star Blake Griffin -- Screw the Lockout, I'll Play Hoops with TMZ Camera Guy

NBA superstar Blake Griffin officially has the most bizarre backup plan for the stupid lockout -- playing hoops in an LA rec league ... with a TMZ camera guy!

Our guy actually had the nerve to ask the Clippers star -- and Rookie of the Year -- to join his recreational league team.

Not sure what's more shocking: the fact our guy wants Blake to play Pau to his Kobe -- or the fact Blake told him, "Maybe."
