[5] That year, MSU finished second in the Big Ten and was the number 3 seed in the Southeast Regional 1995 NCAA Tournament, but they were upset in the first round by Weber State University.

[8][9] Snow saw minimal minutes his first two seasons as the third string point guard behind Gary Payton and Nate McMillan.

[13][9] At the time of the trade, Snow was averaging just 4.4 minutes per game;[9] Sixers head coach Larry Brown gave him a bigger role in Philadelphia, averaging 18 minutes per game for the Sixers in 1997-1998, playing behind Allen Iverson and Brian Shaw.

[30][31][32] Despite missing thirty-two games early in the 2000–01 season due to a stress fracture in his ankle,[33] Snow played a crucial role in helping the 76ers earn the top playoff seed in the Eastern Conference and ultimately reach the 2001 NBA Finals, where they lost in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers.

[13] During the following season, Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant stated that nobody in the league defended him better than Snow.

[43] Snow ranked fifth in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.56);[citation needed] he donated $20 for every one of his steals and assists during the 2004–05 season.

[44] 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.

[53] However, he gradually lost playing time through the course of the season to rookie guard Daniel Gibson, until he came off the bench on January 30, 2007, bringing an end to Snow's streak of starts that lasted for 127 games.

[54][9][55][56] The Cavaliers made the NBA Finals and lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a sweep that year.

[9][58] 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.

In Philadelphia and Cleveland, Snow served as team co-captain along Allen Iverson[65] and LeBron James, respectively.

He averaged 6.8 points per game, and five assists,[9] but Snow's value to his teams was based on intangibles like leadership, intelligence, sacrifice, and tough defense.

[55] In 2000, Larry Brown called Snow's defense, unselfishness, toughness, and having earned Iverson's "unbelievable respect" the key to the Sixers' season.

[71][72] Prior to joining the Legends, Snow served two years as an assistant coach for the Florida Atlantic University.

[73][67] Prior to that, Snow had been the director of player development for the Southern Methodist University from 2012–2014, under his former NBA coach, Larry Brown.

[78] Snow wrote a book in 2010, “Leading High Performers: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Fast, Fluid and Flexible Leader”, with a foreword by former U.N.

[2][80] His son Darius signed to play football with Michigan State and began his freshman year in 2020.

[81] He has been selected Academic All-Big Ten multiple times, but his playing on the football team has been limited by injuries.
