Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir won’t recommend whether Phil Jackson take Karl-Anthony Towns or Jahlil Okafor in the NBA Draft, but he reminded Knicks fans they have a figure in charge with more “clarity’’ than anyone in sports.
Weir, the band’s fabled guitarist, and percussionist Bill Kreutzmann were on hand Monday at Madison Square Garden as the Grateful Dead were enshrined in the arena’s Walk of Fame, along with former Knicks center Harry “The Horse’’ Gallatin, Rangers goalie Eddie Giacomin and legendary photographer George Kalinsky.
Jackson is a noted Grateful Dead fan and has an autographed cymbal as one of his prized possessions.
