BOSTON – Point guard Shane Larkin is back in the NBA and ready to bury the hatchet with former Knicks president Phil Jackson.

Larkin, who engaged in a war of words with the Zen Master after he left the Knicks for the Nets, told The Post that Jackson deserves another chance to show his executive powers. Larkin said Jackson’s New York stint could have been a fluke.

After one season in the Spanish League, Larkin signed with Boston. His basketball tour of New York, during which he played with the Knicks and Nets, didn’t pan out well.
