Thanks to one Facebook user, we now know the exact date Michael Jordan and the Tune Squad defeated the Monstars in the "Ultimate Game."

A graphic shared by the "SportsCenter" Facebook page in November claimed the game took place Nov. 15, 1996, the date "Space Jam" was originally released in theaters. That prompted a very detailed response from someone who, after extensive research, determined the game actually took place on March 5, 1995.

Here's the post, via Reddit:
