Lloyd was from one town over, Alexandria, VA. He was the honored guest during the St. Patrick's Day parade in the early 2010's. There is also a street named in his honor: Lloyd Way.

In 2007, the newly constructed basketball court at T.C. Williams High School in Lloyd’s home town of Alexandria was named in his honor.

Hey Al, is that one of the McCarthy Pistons PCs?

As long as we're talking Nat Clifton, here is a 1951-52 Knicks schedule card:



1952-53:



I am guessing he was an impact player right off the bat if they put him on these cards.

Nope. I have a few other players and was curious.
