49ers Legend Joe Montana Joins in on 'The Last Dance' Fun and Posts Old Picture With Michael Jordan
By Michael Luciano
ESPN has drawn the entire sports world together thanks to their "The Last Dance" documentary that highlights the final year of Michael Jordan's tenure with the Chicago Bulls. Jordan nostalgia is at an all-time high, and even Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana has joined in on the fun.
The San Francisco 49ers legend posted a picture of him and Jordan hanging out in Jordan's makeshift office before a Bulls game on Twitter, in the wake of the documentary's third week.
Since everyone is talking about @espn’s #TheLastDance, I had to go back through my pictures and find this moment. What do you think we were talking about? (? #walterlooss) pic.twitter.com/ifJLjEqjmt

Between the two of them, Montana and Jordan have combined for 10 championships; Montana never lost a Super Bowl and Jordan never lost a seven-game Finals series.
Episodes V and VI aired Sunday night, and highlighted Jordan's explosion as a cultural icon during his stint with the Dream Team, Jordan's second and third championships against the Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns, and the end of the regular season during his final season as a Bull in 1997-98.

One could make a strong case that, to this very day, Montana and Jordan exemplified clutch play in the NFL and NBA, respectively, and have still yet to be equalled in that regard. it only makes sense that the two were friends.
