LeBron James’ high school has rejected ESPN’s request to televise the superstar’s game this weekend – apparently because of perceived network criticism against the school.

“They’re blaming everything on us right now with what’s happened with LeBron,” Grant Innocenzi, athletic director at St. Vincent-St. Mary’s, told The Post before the decision was officially announced. “I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

It didn’t. Early last night Josh Krulewitz, ESPN’s director of media relations, received word of the denial through Paragon, a Chicago-based marketing company that was acting as liaison between the two parties. Krulewitz said he wasn’t given a reason.

“They’re not interested in having the game televised and we’re fine with that,” he said.
