Point guard Eric Snow played a whole lot of games in the NBA--452 for the 76ers, 846 in all--but in only one of those games did he accomplish what he did for the Sixers on February 26th, 2003. Tangling with the Memphis Grizzlies at the First Union Center, E Snow went 22 points, 11 rebounds and ten assists, mostly up against Memphis's Jason Williams. It was Snow's first-ever and last-ever triple-double.
Snow's all-around strong stat line may have been the headliner, but the Sixers game him plenty of help from other corners. Allen Iverson scored 39 points (on 26 shot attempts) with nine assists, and even the underachieving Keith Van Horn pitched in with 21 and nine boards. Things were a little tight down the stretch, with Memphis big man Pau Gasol pitching in with 32, but the Sixers persevered for the 111-107 victory.
Snow's enduring legacy as a basketball might be as the only player to start on the two most over-matched finals teams of the 2000s. "if my life were at stake and I had to pick any NBA player to miss a 20-footer that he was trying to make, or else I'd be killed," ESPN writer Bill Simmons wrote in 2007, "I'd pick Eric Snow and rejoice as he bricked a set shot off the side of the rim." These days, Snow continues his uninspiring 'ball analysis on NBA TV, as he continues to pimp his new sure-to-be-a-must-read book, Leading High Performers: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Fast, Fluid, and Flexible Leader. Yeah, LeBron and AI--those guys' success was all you, E.
