Tiffany Jackson-Jones grew up near Dallas, Texas. She has always loved the sport of basketball and that has not changed through the years. Growing up she played ball for Duncansville High School, where she was named a WBCA All-American. During her college years at The University of Texas, ESPN named Tiffany national freshman of the year in 2003-2004. In 2007 she was named All-American.
After college, in 2007, Tiffany was drafted by the Liberty. She was off to a great career, playing in all 34 regular season games and three playoff games. Then she was traded to the Tulsa Shock in 2010. She played for the Shock two years before taking a season off to have her son, Marly.
When Tiffany returned to the WNBA in 2013 she played three more seasons but was not playing like she had in the past. Then 2015 hit and she got the shock of her life - Tiffany was diagnosed with breast cancer. This caused her to miss the entire 2016 season to fight for her life.
