Also, no one answered my earlier question:

Thought it was pretty easy but maybe not?

Bonus: what was written on the crown of our first Leprechaun/jester logos?

Colors...white, green and orange?
Strange about leav... i don't know...heartshape...
On crown... USA maybe?

I'm not finding it easy. Chris Herren would be a guess, but I can't confirm he was born in Boston. Where he went to high school is documented as Fall River, but that is outside the radius where people can be expected to use Boston hospitals for childbirth.

Close...but this player birthplace is listed Boston. And played his entire NCAA career for Boston College (Herren played only one game for Boston College, 3 seasons for Fresno State)...

I'd like the answer to be a guy from the old days, when there were territorial draft picks and so on, but it's easily not Cousy, Heinsohn, McCauley, Russell, K. C. Jones or the guys who went to Kentucky or Ohio State. Not sure BC would have been integrated that early; if it's a black guy I'd guess 70s or later. I checked Loscy and Sharman; not them. Reggie Lewis of course went to Northeastern, not BC. Vin Baker was from New England, but Connecticut. Sort of similarly Ray Allen, who went to UConn in any case.

A little help...after Reggie Lewis...prior to Vin Baker

Correct on the colors and crown.

Leaves of the clover were not symmetrical.

Now a easy question. Who are the only players ever to score 40+ points for Celtics and against Celtics?
Our Danny Ainge just miss a cut...scored 45 as a Celtics...scored 39 as a King vs Celtics.

Sweet, thanks. Ok, kind of an easy one: what is the connection between the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and the Celtics?

The other one would be a guess. Leading candidates include Easy Ed and Judas Shuttlesworth.

Bill Russell and KC Jones won Olympic gold, NCAA title and a NBA ring. Who are the other 2 C's player with that kind of "triple crown"?

Chuck Connors aside:

Which Celtic player portrayed the central character in a movie?
Which Celtic player guest starred on the TV show Cheers?
Which Celtic player guest starred on the TV show Miami Vice?

Hints/help:
Those are one each, at the time of the filming, future, current and past Celtics players.
Only one of the three was playing the role of himself.
Everything was fiction; these aren't basketball instructional videos or anything like that.
