No...back then he didn't shove it in your face...he just played basketball. That's why no one gave a frick.

No...he mentioned it. It just so happened that when he did it didn't sound "strange" to anyone, because most were on board with what he was saying. It was well known the guy had a crucifix sewn into his game socks, etc.
He wasn't Tebowesque in his religion, but to suggest it wasn't obvious is being disingenuous.
His religiosity only became a problem when he switched teams.

If you mean the 'not standing for the National Anthem', he addresses that in the video and admits he was wrong.
There is no one more zealous that the newly converted to ANYTHING. He points out in the video that one of his Muslim mentors educated him that he can have issues with specific items and still respect the whole. He played after that garbage and stood at attention for the anthem
Again, I don't care if others dislike him. I am no champion of his. I just want to be accurate as to what he said then vs now.
