stated that nobody in the league defended him better than Snow.

In 2002–03, Snow was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. He started all 82 games for the first time in his career. He posted career highs in points per game (12.9), rebounds per game (3.7), minutes per game (37.9), field goal percentage (45.2%), and free throw percentage (85.8%). Snow's excellent free throw percentage was particularly noteworthy, as he had been a very poor foul shooter in college and early in his NBA career, averaging 45.9% from the stripe during his four seasons at Michigan State (over 6% less than his field goal percentage) and 59.2% as a

Ironically, it is possible the final straw in Silas being dismissed as the Cavaliers' coach in 2005, may have been his decision to substitute Snow into a game for guard Jeff McInnes. Snow played in and started all 82 games for the Cavaliers in the 2005–06 season, helping the Cavaliers return to the playoffs for the first time since 1998. He was a team captain that season.

On March 11, 2008, it was announced that Snow would miss four to six weeks due to arthritic-related symptoms in his left knee, ending his season. After the injury, Snow conceded that he likely would not play in the NBA again. Unable to play, but still listed as an active player on the Cavaliers' roster, Snow served on Head Coach Mike Brown's staff as an unofficial assistant coach for the 2008–09 season. On April 4, 2009, Snow was given a "medically necessary" release and began working as an analyst for

Career

During his 13 year playing career, Snow reached the

three times (and once with each of the teams on which he played): the SuperSonics in 1996, the 76ers in 2001, and the Cavaliers in 2007. All three appearances were losses. In Philadelphia and Cleveland, Snow served as team co-captain along Allen Iverson and LeBron James, respectively. He played in 846 games, starting 551. He averaged 6.8 points per game, and five assists, but Snow's value to his teams was based on intangibles like leadership, intelligence, sacrifice, and tough defense. In 2000, Larry Brown called Snow's defense, unselfishness, toughness, and having earned Iverson's "unbelievable respect" the key to the Sixers' season.

Coaching career
