Tulsa Shock forward Tiffany Jackson-Jones has steadily become one of the WNBA’s most valuable role players. Her impressive credentials include WBCA All-America honors at Duncanville (TX) High School, ESPN.com’s college Freshman of the Year award at Texas and National All-America kudos following her senior year with the Longhorns.

But in 2012, Jackson-Jones took a full year away from basketball to give birth to she and her husband’s first child. Now that she’s back on the court, she is back to her hard-nosed, aggressive style of play that makes her one of the more formidable defensive players in the women’s game.

In this video interview, Jackson-Jones talks about the example of greatness that Jesus has given her, what it means to be truly great and two significant moments in her life where she achieved greatness.
