I don't know how I managed to crack this one. Took a whole lot of educated guessing, and I STILL don't get a few clues - but there are great ones here! I aspecially liked ASTRA and SERUM (even though the SERUM clue is definitely on the "mean" side of things). I know the Pokémon DURANT but I don't have enough sports knowledge to realize which player you're referring to. Overall, definitely a mean themeless, but PERHAPS not too mean for your standards.
