Ross was playing with Bronny when he heard James' voice over the mic. Ross was visibly surprised by the sudden voice, asking if it was really his voice which asked 'What's good bruh?' James laughed on hearing Ross' question, repeating his words. Ross told James he was a big fan and was glad he could talk to him.

James responded by saying he respects and appreciates Ross' support for him and his son before leaving the stream.
