The shirt comes with a letter of authenticity (LOA) signed by CAVS Community Relations Manager at the time, Holly Yanak. The tee shirt has been kept in a drawer; never worn. This collector's item comes from Snow's first season with the CAVS.
Snow began his basketball career at Canton McKinley High School in Canton, Ohio. Eric was McKinley High School's MVP for three straight seasons. He attended college at Michigan State University. In his senior season, the Spartans earned a #3 seed to the 1995 NCAA Tournament, but they were upset in the first round. Snow played the point guard position in the NBA from 1995 to 2008 and appeared in three NBA Finals.
In 1998 as a pass-first, defensive-minded point guard, Snow became a stalwart of the Brown-era Philadelphia 76ers teams. Snow's ability to guard opposing teams' shooting guards made him an ideal complement to Allen Iverson, a high-scoring but unusually small shooting guard. Despite missing thirty-two games early in the 2000–01 season due to injury, 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. During the following season, Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant stated that nobody in the league defended him better than Snow.
On July 20, 2004, Snow was traded to the Cavaliers. Snow only missed one game in his first three years with the Cavaliers. He had a season-high 16 points on January 22, 2005 against the Golden State Warriors and a season-high 13 assists on April 19, 2005 against the Boston Celtics. Snow ranked fifth in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.56); he donated $20 for every one of his steals and assists during the 2004–05 season.
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 started all 13 playoff games for the Cavaliers. He scored 18 points in a Game 5 victory over the Washington Wizards during the first round of the playoffs.
The following season, for the fifth and final time in his career, Snow played in all 82 games. He had a season high 18 points on January 13, 2007 against the Los Angeles Clippers and a season-high 11 assists on January 20, 2007 against the Golden State Warriors. The Cavaliers made the NBA Finals and lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a sweep that year.
In his 13th NBA season, Snow was named team co-captain, along with LeBron James. Snow only played in 22 games 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.
During his playing career, Snow reached the NBA Finals 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. In Philadelphia and Cleveland, Snow served as team co-captain along Allen Iverson and LeBron James, respectively. Snow was hired as assistant coach for the Texas Legends in 2017 through NBA's Assistant Coaches Program (ACP) after his two-year spell as assistant coach for the Florida Atlantic University.
