He has been meddling with the idea of live-streaming his EA Madden games. Eager to engage with his audience, he even sought input on the preferred streaming platform from the fans on X.

As fans erupted in excitement for this new gaming venture, Micah Parsons added an intriguing twist. The Dallas Cowboys linebacker issued a unique challenge to James, paving grounds for an unexpected crossover and elevating fans’ excitement even more.
