He averaged 13.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game on 45% from the floor during that series, and while Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen were moreover quite solid, he was the most impactful player for Boston in that Finals.
That series went when and along and was one of the most epic in modern NBA history.
