Double Teamed is the latest Disney movie to feature a set of twins. Based on the life of Heidi and Heather Burge, the pair of twins who made it to the WNBA. The Double Teamed story has all the makings of your typical Disney movie, underdogs who make it big because of a special talent.

The story of Heidi and Heather Burge really is a real life Disney movie. The Burge sisters, now retired from the WNBA, carry the distinction of being the tallest twins to ever play pro-basketball. They are also the current world record holders for being the tallest set of female twins ever born.

Twins such as Heidi and Heather Burge are so amazing because they share a specific talent. Their talent is chronicled in Double Teamed.

Heidi and Heather Burge had an interesting story. The pair was forced to leave their school to go to a "better" school that boasted more opportunities for scholarships. Heidi and Heather Burge also didn't notice their talent for basketball until one of the twins was discovered by a coach.

Heidi and Heather Burge lied to their teammates pretending they were rich, and the Heidi and Heather Burge story is full of the climaxes and drama of any typical Disney movie such as Double Teamed. After all, what would the Heidi and Heather Burge story be without a little bit of drama?
