When Diamond DeShields posted on Twitter about her dreams to play in the WNBA Finals, she was an 18-year-old freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill playing guard for the UNC's Tar Heels basketball team.

She transferred to Tennessee and played college basketball for two years before turning pro. DeShields played overseas in Turkey for the 2017-2018 season before being drafted to the WNBA in 2018 by the Chicago Sky, the WNBA reports.

DeShields helped the Chicago Sky win the 2021 WNBA Championship against the Phoenix Mercury in game four's 80-74 point match, according to the UT Daily Beacon.
