- The team played at four World Tour events in 2015 (the Masters in Manila, Beijing and Lausanne, and the Final in Abu Dhabi) but failed to win a single title. The closest they got was an overtime loss in the final of the Manila Masters against Doha.
- Birdman was the number one 3x3 player in the world from December 2013 to June 2014.
- Birdman is the tallest player at the event (2,16m) and Ljubljana the tallest and most experienced team in general.
