The 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. The Knicks president is currently Truckin’ out West, so he missed Monday’s ceremony.

“He’s a singularity in the world of sports,’’ Weir told The Post. “He’s a guy who is a pure manifestation of spirit — both in physical, mental and emotional form. A singularity. There’s nobody like him. He’s got a clarity about him as a player in his physical actions back then and as a coach/president. It’s the kind of clarity he imparts that motivates players. He’s a wonderful guy to hang with as well.

“I’m quietly proud he’s a fan.’’

Weir said he has spent time on vacation with Jackson on the beaches of Mexico. During the 1990s, when Jackson coached the Bulls, he would attend Dead shows and stand right behind the drummers, according to Kreutzmann.

“I appreciated him as friend and he liked us,” Kreutzmann said. “He liked the music and liked to be behind Mickey [Hart] and I so he can see the interaction.’’

The Grateful Dead are celebrating their 50th anniversary with an anniversary gig in Chicago this July. There are rumors they could play the Garden, too. The Dead played 52 sold-out concerts at the Garden from 1979 through 1994 — ranking them third all-time behind Elton John and Billy Joel. Iconic frontman Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995.

Kalinsky, who taught Jackson photography, recalled the first time Jackson saw The Dead, occurring the 1970-71 season. The band was playing the old Felt Forum with the Knicks hosting Buffalo next door. Jackson implored his mates to get the game over with quickly so he can catch the show and the Knicks won by 40. According to Kalinsky, The Dead played so long that night, Jackson caught the final hour and Kalinsky tagged along with his camera.

Though his jersey hasn’t been retired, Gallatin was enshrined into the Walk of Fame that was unveiled in 1992. Jackson emulated Gallatin’s big-man style as a player and called him a few weeks ago on his 87th birthday.

“I watch the results and see where they are in the standings and I was really disappointed this year,’’ Gallatin, ranked fourth on the Knicks’ all-time rebounding list, said of his old team’s 17-65 finish.

Gallatin has his eyes on Towns and Okafor — the front-court prospects considered the consensus top two players in the draft — should the Knicks prosper in the lottery.

“Hopefully the draft and free agency will give them more players,” Gallatin said. “What we’re doing now is looking for somebody who can start in the middle and that’s where the game starts — underneath the basket.’’
