Offerman could be returning as Ron Swanson for it.<\/p>\n<p>Another possibility is a hype video for the Indiana Fever\u2019s upcoming playoff run. They have already clinched a spot and could be among the favorites to reach the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/wnba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA<\/a> semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>But how does a character like Swanson connect to Clark?<\/p>\n<p>The show\u00a0Parks and Recreations is set in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. It is said to be around 90 miles away from Indianapolis, so it\u2019s in close proximity.<\/p>\n<p>In Episode 17 of Season 2, titled Woman of the Year, Swanson insisted to Amy Poehler\u2019s Leslie Knope that he\u2019s not a sexist and loves powerful women.<\/p>\n<p>It prompted Leslie to say, \u201cYou do attend a shocking number of WNBA games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the show set in Indiana, Swanson is certainly a Fever fan. And it would be a great callback if Swanson meets the Fever\u2019s current superstar in Clark.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/paolodavid99\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Juan Paolo David<\/a> Juan Paolo David is a sports journalist covering basketball for Heavy.
