So, name the guys who played for the Celtics, won no championships in Boston, but won at least one championship with other teams.
I'll give you two easy ones:

Chauncey Billups
Rick Fox

Also Bob McAdoo

(I'm looking for guys who first won after they left the Cs, which I suspect was the spirit of the original question.)

When is the last time a Celtic guard placed top-3 in the MVP voting?

It was in 1957. when Bob Cousy won MVP award. In 1965. Sam Jones was 4th

I believe that's correct. I think I checked anybody else who could reasonably have been that high.

Hondo also got as high as 4th, whatever position you want to say he played. Sharman peaked at 5th.

QUIZ: No Celtic has won an NBA scoring title, but the C’s have had six players who won the scoring title before coming to Boston. Name the six. Answer below.

Other parts of http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/celtics/2017/04/08/miracle-celtics-make-conference-finals-and-other-picked-pieces/w6ZYCydBDyDY3WY6uMMaRN/story.html?s_campaign=bdc:article:stub are obnoxious, but that's a good question. I never would have thought the number was that high. That said, I pretty quickly guessed 5 of the 6.

Hmm...Maravich, Tiny, Dominique, McAdoo? Walton? This one is hard. I really don't know who won scoring titles besides MJ.

With one exception, you just did as well as I did.

When I ran out of ideas, I took a wild guess at Walton too. But in fact he never even had a 20 PPG season.

I did get one guy that you forgot. Here's a hint: Who ever played for the Celtics that anybody would seriously consider as a top-10 all-time player, other than Russell, Bird, or maybe KG?

Yeah I looked it up after...To be fair, he only won one scoring title. I didn't know the other guy did either but he's another HoF Celtic cameo I should have thought of.

According to http://www.basketballinsiders.com/boston-celtics-team-salary/ , the Cs have 6 stash guys, by which I mean guys they drafted and still control the rights to and who have never been signed in the NBA.

Three are obvious, namely Zizic, Yabu and Nader -- although it might be challenging to spell their full names from memory.

The trivia question is: Who are the other three?

Marcus Thornton
Rade Zagorac
Andrei Fetison

The name Celtics* grew out of a conversation between whom??

Only the first is correct. The Celtics traded away the rights to Zagorac and Fetisov.

Bill Russell holds many distinctions in basketball.

One one of those was precisely mirrored in baseball by one of his high school basketball teammates.

Explain.
