Carmelo Anthony said he hoped Knicks president Phil Jackson, once he opened the team’s search for a new coach, would “give everybody a shot to come in and say what they have to say and see if you like that person or not.”

Well, Jackson fell for Jeff Hornacek on Monday, and a source said Anthony likes the choice.

“He likes it because Hornacek runs a real modern offense — which will highlight [Kristaps] Porzingis,” a source familiar with Anthony’s thinking said. “That’s what Melo wants. He wants Kristaps to be as much a focal point of the offense as himself. He’s got a coach well-suited.”

The Post reported last week Anthony had reservations about interim coach Kurt Rambis and wouldn’t have had objections to David Blatt, who had no chemistry with Anthony’s buddy, LeBron James, in Cleveland. However, J.R. Smith, another friend of Anthony’s, was a big Blatt fan.
