Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave a thoughtful assessment of the failed Phil Jackson presidential regime, feeling the Zen Master was due bad luck after his record-setting “11 Rings” coaching career, when everything went right.

Jackson was fired after June’s draft, when owner James Dolan viewed Jackson promoting the notion he was looking to deal Kristaps Porzingis if the price was right as the last straw.

Kerr, whose defending champions practiced at St. John’s on Tuesday, told reporters Jackson has put the Knicks on “a good path” but “felt bad” at his ouster after three seasons of 17-65, 32-50 and 31-51 records. Kerr, who had a verbal agreement to become the Knicks coach before reneging in 2014, praised some of Jackson’s moves, including hiring Jeff Hornacek, who was slated to become Kerr’s top assistant in Golden State if Hornacek didn’t get the Knicks job.

“I felt bad for the way things ended,” Kerr said. “I think Phil did some good things here. Drafting [Kristaps] Porzingis and hiring Jeff Hornacek. I think [Frank] Ntilikina looks like a good player. It feels like they’re on a good path right now.”

Kerr, who has maintained a friendship with Jackson after playing under him and winning three titles in Chicago, admitted Jackson was in the right place at the right time in succeeding Doug Collins.

“It’s a hard league, man,” Kerr said. “Things really have to fall [in your favor], you have to do a good job. But you also have to get some luck. Phil knows that better than anybody. You can be really lucky and inherit Michael Jordan, and you can also be unlucky and things don’t go your way.

“It’s all part of it. We’re all going to have our moments in this league — ups and downs. Phil had so much success as a coach. I don’t know, maybe he was due for the down part of it.”

The Warriors stayed in town after beating the Nets on Sunday in Brooklyn and don’t play until Wednesday in Oklahoma City. Their practice was viewed by St. John’s coach/former Warrior Chris Mullin and a handful of his players. Because of the potential media frenzy with Kevin Durant’s return to Oklahoma City, the Warriors, who ended up losing 108-91, probably wanted to avoid practicing there.

The New York trip also was notable when All-Star Klay Thompson was interviewed as a regular “man-on-the-street” Monday by a Fox 5 reporter who initially didn’t recognize him. Fox 5 was asking passersby about the recent scaffolding collapse. Thompson didn’t offer up his identity, but he said the cameraman eventually recognized him. He was shown on the scaffolding report.

“I usually observe if the piping and stuff is new. If it looks like it’s been there a while, I try to avoid that,” Thompson told Fox 5. “Sometimes, you know, if something looks like it’s been there a while, I try to kind of avoid that.”

Fox 5 identified him as “Klay Thompson, NBA player.”

At St. John’s practice, Thompson told the San Jose-Mercury News: “I was walking. She asked me if I wanted to be interviewed. I said, ‘Sure. Interesting topic.’”

MSG Networks will stage special “Thankzingis” programming Thursday in honor of Kristaps Porzingis. The network will show six of Porzingis’ best games, starting at 11:30 a.m.

The Knicks’ 22-point win over the Clippers on Monday was their third triumph by 20 or more this season. Last season, they didn’t post one victory of 20 or more points. During Jackson’s three-season run, dating to 2014-15, they had a total of two 20-plus victories.

Defensive captain Joakim Noah has the flu and didn’t attend Wednesday’s 108-100 win over the Raptors. Hornacek said Noah would have been inactive if healthy.
