Limited time offer.<\/p>\n<p>The statement performance against the Valley Suns on Friday marked a career night for James, who was already coming off a previous career-high mark of 16 points against the San Diego Clippers.<\/p>\n<p>James\u2019 30 points weren\u2019t enough to see South Bay home though, with the Lakers going down 106-100 despite the rookie\u2019s impressive performance on 13-of-23 shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The second-round pick added three rebounds, two assists and one steal in the loss while scoring in a variety of ways, including mid-range jumpers, off-the-dribble triples and a highlight alley-oop in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>James is now averaging 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game and on Friday suited up for his first road game in the G League, having previously only played at home.<\/p>\n<p>That decision drew some criticism, with ESPN\u2019s Brian Windhorst declaring it was an example of preferential treatment \u201cgone too far\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I know he was getting somewhat special treatment and nepotism, that\u2019s fine. I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s normal,\u201d Windhorst said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, I think it\u2019s actually detrimental to him. I don\u2019t like that. I don\u2019t know whose idea it was. Obviously the Lakers are fine with it, they\u2019re doing it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn this particular instance, I think that\u2019s gone too far, and I don\u2019t think that benefits Bronny, I don\u2019t think it benefits the South Bay Lakers and I don\u2019t think it benefits LeBron at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James went off for 30 points in his road G League debut.
