ESPN's Michael Wilbon told LeBron James to take accountability in a fastball rant following the Lakers' first-round exit.

The rant revolved around the purple and gold firing coach Darvin Ham after losing to the Nuggets in five games. The defeat followed Denver sweeping the Lakers in the conference finals last year.

On Friday's edition of 'Pardon the Interruption' Wilbon took James and the Robin to his Batman, Anthony Davis, as the ones responsible for Ham's dismissal.

'You know what? I'm angry. I've known Darvin Ham for a long time,' Wilbon began.

'He's a great guy and he's a pretty damn good coach,' Wilbon continued. 'He took a team that had done nothing the year before and missed the playoffs, and then last year they got to the conference finals with him and everybody had praise for him — including LeBron and Anthony Davis.'
