Bovada recently asked fans who the ultimate sports duo is, posting a photo of legendary Chicago Bulls duo Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, one of the all-time greats.
There have been many fantastic duos in San Francisco 49ers history alone. You can't go wrong with names Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Want to go defense? What about Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman? Maybe the iconic play, "The Catch," has you thinking Montana and Dwight Clark.
It's tough to come up with a bad answer.
Legendary 49ers running back Frank Gore cast his vote, declaring that he and tackle Joe Staley are the ultimate sports duo.
Staley, who has long adored his former teammate, responded with the following.
By the way, having fond memories of Gore, I obviously liked that post a lot.
Gore remains the 49ers' all-time leading rusher and currently ranks No. 3 in the NFL's all-time rushing list with 15,347 yards. The future Hall of Fame running back sits behind just Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton on the list.
Gore is a five-time Pro Bowl selection while Staley is a six-time Pro Bowler. The two were teammates for eight years before Gore departed for the Indianapolis Colts in 2015. He spent 2018 with the Miami Dolphins, 2019 with the Buffalo Bills, and looks to continue his illustrious 15-year career.
Which two players do you believe make up the greatest 49ers duo of all-time? Leave a comment below.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.

With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
