A: Offensively I would say terrible, because I'm not shooting a high percentage from two-point range (.341). I'm shooting OK from 3 (.421), but I came in really trying to defer. I didn't want to step on anybody's toes, knowing this is Dwyane's team and Shaq's team, and I think I painted myself into a passive role, not really being aggressive when I should have been. But defensively and getting assists and everything else, I give myself a 10 out of 10, because I've done great in those other areas. Q: Did you underestimate the rust factor? A: The rust is still there offensively, but not defensively. I think I've struggled with getting to the basket and finishing plays. But being out on the perimeter is really not my game. My game is down on the post, not [at] the 3-point line. It's also been three years [out of the game because of injuries] really, my last two years with the Knicks and all of last year. I thought I could help this team more, because that's what they brought me here for, but it just hasn't come back as fast as I wanted to. Q: What about the physical side? How much better do you feel physically than when we last saw you? A: About a million percent better. Honestly it's like night and day. I had something lodged in the back of my [left] leg. Couldn't run, couldn't jump, couldn't move laterally, couldn't guard anyone. I was just out there trying to get by the best I could. But now being able to overcome it, feeling healthy and being out there able to run [freely], it's just a blessing, man. I worked out one year straight without missing a day because I was so hungry to get back. If I feel like this, hopefully I can play another year at least. I know that I could. Q: So you won't be satisfied just getting this far in your comeback? A: I feel like if the Miami Heat say they want to go in another direction, I'll try to go to another team. I feel like I'm healthy enough and I'm ready to play. … [But the opportunity with Miami] means the world to me because this is the game that I love, that I definitely missed. It's not about money with me. It's just all for the love of the game. I've been through so much pain and suffering when it comes to this game, when it comes to the physical part, I just wanted to come back and try to go out on my terms. Q: What has reuniting with Shaq meant to you knowing that none of us on the outside ever thought it would happen again? A: I do care about that because we started together a long time ago and we obviously have a bond. We went to the Finals together. Orlando is known for Penny and Shaq, not one without the other. He definitely went on to win championships and I didn't and started having injuries, but I'm definitely glad that I had an opportunity to play with him again. I never had a problem with Shaq at all. I can be honest about that. And I don't think he ever really had a problem with me. I think when he went to LA, everyone just assumed. It was never like his and Kobe's relationship at all. Not once when we were in Orlando. --
