Lloyd Daniels (born September 4, 1967 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American former professional basketball player. The 6'7" guard never played in college, nor was drafted by an NBA team, but he did manage to play five seasons for six NBA teams: the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors.
In his career, Daniels played in 200 NBA games and scored 1,411 points. Prior to his NBA career, he played in the GBA, the CBA, the USBL, and also in Europe.
Daniels is considered a New York City basketball playground legend.
On May 11, 1989, Daniels was shot three times in the chest and survived. He still has a bullet lodged in his right shoulder.
In October, 2005, Lloyd tried to revive his career by trying out with the Strong Island Sound of the American Basketball Association.
His nickname Swee'Pea is a reference to the Popeye cartoon character of the same name.
