- Can I ask you a favor?
If you can take off your navy jacket...?
I was like, "You come to my house,
you should at least take it off." But come into my house....
- You know, I'm just comfortable.
I'm tryin' to get my whole London swag on.
I feel like this is a robe.
I feel like I'm comfortable in my robe.
Taking this back to the States.
- Big Baller's back, baby.
- Teach me how to shoot.
That puck's loud.
- Oh! What the...?
- Oh yeah, that's how quick it is.
- Ooh! You're gonna be a cowboy, Nate, after this.
Look out. - I'm learning.
- "Houseguest." Let's get it.
"Houseguest," y'all know what it is.
It's your boy, man.
And guess what?
I had to pull up on my boy Patrice Evra,
all the way in London. And we are taking
a boat to this man's crib.
Talk about balling.
Oh man, on a whole 'nother level.
- Welcome to London.
- I love it, man.
- Big Ben.
- Big Ben. This is nice.
This was the bridge that was on "Spider-Man," huh?
- Yeah, Tower Bridge.
- Yeah, let me get this.
My son gotta see this.
Y'all see this bridge right here?
This was on "Spider-Man," the movie.
You see these things on TV and now you get
to actually see 'em in real life.
- It's raining, the sun is out.
- I ain't gonna lie, if it was Seattle
if the sun was out and it rained like this I would be happy.
- Now we're gonna get to a warm place.
We're gonna go to my house.
- Let's go.
I'm ready.
You showed us Big Ben on the boat, the London Eye,
a Ferris wheel.
Now we're here to see the crib.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Let's see it.
- Well, come on.
- Yes.
- So we're here.
That's my Patrice world.
- Living room right here?
- That's where we sit, with my brother.
We're watching games.
- Watching the game, where's the TV at?
- The TV is inside the....
- Oh, the mirror.
- ... the mirror. The mirror, yeah.
I will turn it on.
- Oh, James Bond type.
Yeah, I'm feeling that vibe.
I was like, "Watching TV where?"
This is a TV in the mirror.
Yeah, you fancy.
- I will turn it on, yeah.
- That is crazy.
I don't think I've ever seen that in anybody's house.
You're the first.
That's pretty cool.
- Thank you, my man, thank you.
- That's pretty awesome.
- I see you have 24 brothers and sisters?
- Yeah.
- Big family - I'm only the oldest of nine, but....
What was it like growing up as a kid
with that many siblings?
Nobody messed with y'all, I know for sure.
- Nobody messed with us, yeah.
- "Oh, you ... I'm gonna come back and get all my brothers."
- Exactly. No, they know. They know.
The Evra family was so big in Paris.
Man, when they said the food is ready.
- You gotta come eat.
- Make sure you have to come eat.
- You gotta be the first one there.
- Because sometime you arrive, there's nothing left,
and people laugh at your face.
So no, it's crazy.
You know, sometime it was tough
because I used to sleep even in one mattress
with two of my brothers.
Everything like, you know, our own now.
I just feel blessed because it wasn't easy,
but it was nice. But we were happy.
- I remember those days, man.
Me and my brother had to share a room.
I couldn't wait when we got our....
My mom got a bigger house and we got our own rooms.
We thought that was like the coolest thing ever.
- Yeah, exactly. It was like a big deal.
But that's what I'm talking about.
My family is everything.
The first things I did when I had my biggest contract -
when I was playing for Monaco - I bought
a house for my dad and a house for my mom.
I couldn't describe the feeling, you know.
And every time I was like training
and working out, and I was looking at my mom,
I was so proud.
She was my motivation.
- Yeah, shout-out to Mom Dukes, man.
That's what's up.
♪ You're such a grumpy bro! ♪
♪ I love it! ♪
- So I hear you're a big prankster?
Because, for me, when I was in the league
I was that guy.
- Oh yeah, I do some ... I do crazy stuff
because I don't like when people mess with my clothes.
I had some sneakers, some Air Force,
and I came back after training
and they were like smashed.
- What'd you do?
- I was mad. I said, "I need to know."
- "Who did this?"
- "Who did this?
I need to know.
I won't leave this place before I...."
So, they tell me, actually, it was Gerard Piqué
I go to his locker.
I saw there was some nice shoes.
I take them, I said, "I'm gonna poo on them.
I go to the toilet...."
- And you s*** in the shoe?
You s*** in a man's shoes?
- I tried, I tried my best.
I was like pushing, pushing.
It wasn't coming out, so I put the shoes on the side.
I s*** on the toilet, I cleaned myself,
and I put all tissue inside of the boots
and even pee on them.
And I put them back in his locker.
True story.
So after that he came and I was like,
"Did you touch my sneakers?"
And he was like, "No, I didn't, Patrice.
Why you say that?"
But he was smiling.
I said, "O.K., no problem."
We get in the shower, start to put his jeans,
his T-shirt and everything.
So he put his shoes.
- He put his feet in like s***ty shoes?
- Yeah, he feel like something was like wrong.
He comes to me, "Patrice you did it."
I said, "I didn't.
What's wrong with you, bro?
I didn't, you know."
So after the next day the people they tell him,
but he couldn't do anything because he start first.
That's why I say, "Don't mess with me."
- Oh that's how it started?
Going down to....
- Yeah, yeah.
- ... to the gym, huh?
- The gym, let's go.
My world!
- This is your world?
- Yeah, this is my world.
- Ooh. Hey. - This is my world.
- Oh, yeah.
- Sometime I don't even brush my teeth
and I come here.
- You just come down here?
- Come down here and work, you know?
Work ethic is really important.
It's really important for me.
- That's how you keep your body right.
Y'all see this?
The man got a gym in his own crib.
He just comes down before he even brushes his teeth,
and hits the weights and gets strong,
comes down here to do some of these.
See this, I be down here getting this work.
I see that you do, kind of, kickboxing.
I seen this little drill you was doin', you was kickin'....
You was kicking the s*** out of some s***.
I was like, "Damn!
That even hurt my shins.
I got shin splits!"
I had d*** shin splits looking at you kick that thing.
I was like, "Dang."
So is that something that you got into?
- Yeah, yeah, you know, I am someone like....
I think I'm full of energy.
I was like coming on the pitch,
I was like more feeling aggressive,
like I wanted to hit people on the pitch.
I was like ... seriously, I was like
your animal instinct came out.
- Right, kick in, right.
- Yeah, it kick in, you know?
- So, question - so does the kickboxing help
with when you going to the goal
and you hittin' 'em and you kick that ball in there?
- To be fair it's more about my hips,
because the football player - we have really tight hips.
So, to kick and just practicing when you play. After
the game, your hips are really tight, sore and stuff.
So when I was doing kickboxing,
actually it helped me a lot.
- Oh, nice. See?
So my guy, P.
Talk to me about balling with the legends, man.
- You learn so much from big, big, big player.
The one, the real GOAT for me....
People always, when I say that,
they say, "You say that because he's your close friend."
But it's Cristiano Ronaldo. Why?
Because of his work ethic.
And the question I know you're going to ask me,
so I will tell it straight away.
People always tell me, "Who is the GOAT
between Messi and Ronaldo?"
They are both good.
But why I choose Cristiano above Messi,
because I always say, "Messi has a gift.
He's talented. God just give him that gift
and said, 'Come on, go and play with those kids.'"
But Cristiano works so hard.
Like when we have training at 10 he will show up at eight.
When we finish training we all go having a shower.
He's still on the pitch, still practicing his skill.
Now, when he went to Juventus he called me 20 minutes before
he signed for the club.
I said, "It's perfect for you
because Juventus, the way they work,
like the work ethic is just crazy.
And now he's so happy,
I think he will play easy until 40.
- D***.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You can play that long in soccer?
- To be fair, I played 'til 38.
And my agent was like, "Patrice, but you won everything.
Why you keep playing?" You know?
I was like, "Because of the love of the game."
- "I love this game."
- Exactly. I love this game, you know?
And my brand now is like a message
to the world: When I say, "I love this game,"
it mean, "I love my life."
I'm just feeling blessed about everything I do in my life.
- That's what's up, bro.
As you should, as we all should.
- So Nate, I need to ask you
about your top five, I would say, NBA player.
I already know one.
- Me, me, me, me and me.
- I love that.
I love that.
- No, I mean, of course, my first pick,
definitely Michael Jordan.
No. 1 player, always.
Love and respect, man.
I love Allen Iverson.
Big A.I. fan.
Kobe ... I love Shaq and Kevin Garnett.
- Kevin, wow.
- And what was your best highlight from your career?
NBA, you were like, "Wow," right?
- Probably my ... I would have a couple.
But my main memory would probably be my game-winning shot
over Allen Iverson, man.
- That's it.
- He almost blocks the shot.
Like when I shot the ball I could feel....
When I followed through I could feel his hand,
yeah, his fingers slapping my hand
on the follow-through.
And that day, that game, changed my life.
- It changed your life.
- I'm a little guy, bro.
I wasn't supposed to make it.
- I had a similar thing. Like people were saying,
"You're too short, you're not strong enough,
you won't make it."
But in my head I was focused on one goal.
I was playing for the passion, for the love,
and the work ethic.
But I will never change that mentality,
because it made me like where I am now.
- Longevity, yeah. That's nice.
- Exactly. Consistency, longevity,
that's really important.
- Yeah.
I'm really excited to know that "Houseguest"
is definitely coming out, all the way out here
to London, man. It's pretty cool.
I brought you some Knicks stuff and some Celtics stuff.
Man, I played with the Celtics.
Brought you a Celtics hat.
- Yes!
- And I know ... I've been on your Instagram,
so I see you love wearing hats.
- Yeah.
- So I had to bring you a Knick hat and a Celtic hat.
- That's nice, I'm gonna wear it, too, man.
- Yeah, two of the most historical teams
in the NBA, man.
- Thank you very much. And to be fair,
we are like a mirror, so I bought you as well
some presents.
- Oh, man.
- Some really important presents, you know.
This one is my first Man United T-shirt.
In 2006, you know, I just sign it.
And yeah, I will give it to you as a present.
- Thank you, man.
This is going in my crib.
- I am someone ... I have a big family
so I love to give more presents.
- Yes, "I love this game."
Y'all see this message right here?
"I love this game."
- And this one is the one,
when I was for first time the captain of Manchester United.
- Oh, captain? - Yeah, so it's....
- O.K.
- And the last one, of course, is Juventus.
It's my last big club,
and we won ... I won the Serie A, I won the league with it.
I won the Super Cup.
- All right.
- So I give you that.
- Thank you, man. I appreciate it, my brother. Hey.
- So, you see, I beat you.
- Yeah, three!
That's what's up.
- Thank you very much.
- I appreciate you, my brother.
Thank you so much. - Come back, brother.
- Thank you, man. God bless.
Hey, y'all know what it is, "Houseguest," man.
We're international.
We're going all around the world, baby!
Me and my guy, we taking over. It's nothing.
You feel me?
- That's cool, man.
- Hello, Patrice, my guy. What's good?
Yeah man, I'm down here at the docks, man.
So, is this where we supposed to meet?
This is supposed to be where I get on the boat
to come to your crib ... this is the only way?
All right, yeah, I'm at the big-ass Ferris wheel.
Whatever, the London Eye, or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, I'll be there.
See you in a minute, bro. Peace.
