Mystics players prior to the start of the season and included in team marketing. During the season, Burge would start half the team's 30 games, finish second on the team in both field goal and three point percentages and fourth in minutes, points, rebounds, and blocked shots, but it wouldn't be enough, as the team would finish a league-worst 3-27 despite the presence of Olympian Nikki McCray. Her stay with the Mystics was short as well, as Burge was released on June 9, 1999 by the team following her injury-plagued 1998 season (in which she struggled with a lower back injury and a broken finger) and after drafting all-star forward Chamique Holdsclaw. Among the highlights of her WNBA career was a game-high 11 rebounds and nine points against the Phoenix Mercury in 1997, a 14-point, 9 rebound effort in a 75–68 victory over the Utah Starzz the same year, and a career-high 19 points against the Mercury in August 1998. Upon retirement, one of Burge's biggest professional disappointments was that she was never able to play with or against Heather. USA Basketball Burge was named to the USA team for the 1993 World University Games competition in Buffalo, New York. The team had a 6–2 record and won the bronze medal. Burge averaged 4.4 points per game. Post-retirement After leaving basketball in January 2000, Burge moved to Houston, Texas after accepting a job as a press and media broadcasting intern for the WNBA's Houston Comets. She now lives with her husband, Patrick Horton, whom she married on September 29, 2001, and has two children, Jonathan (born 2003) and Holly (born 2005). Burge works as a physical therapist specializing in lower back injuries (which was inspired by her own career-ending lower back injury) and as a youth basketball instructor at various Houston-area camps including Post University and Basketball Hoops School. She also works as a private coach. At 6 feet 5 inches each, the Burges sisters were recognized in 1991 by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest female twins. This record was broken in 2004 by Ann and Claire Recht. The Disney television movie Double Teamed, which was released in 2002, is based on their life stories and achievements in high school basketball. In the movie, Burge is played by Annie McElwain.
