In North America, moose injure people more than any other wild mammal. In the NBA, a rare species of moose has terrorized opposing bench units this season. Mike “Moose” Muscala, hailing from the great state of Minnesota aka actual moose territory, has become a vital cog to the Atlanta Hawks as the latest success story from Hawks University.
In his fourth season with Atlanta, the 2013 second round pick from Bucknell has averaged 20.2 minutes per game as the first big off the bench. Muscala has effectively doubled his playing time and field goal attempts from last season, while increasing his field goal percentage.
