TURKEY WITH JACK

-

The Knicks ate Thanksgivi­ng dinner in the home of Atlanta resident Jarrett Jack, who also provided a tour of his sneaker collection. The room — which is behind a security-coded door — is rumored to hold more than 1,000 pairs. “His family was nice enough to have the team over and have a nice meal,” coach Jeff Hornacek said. “Again, it’s the chemistry of this team. Jarrett is a veteran guy who has really helped lend to that, and to do something like that says wonders to what kind of leader he is for us.” Jack, 34, is the oldest player on the roster. The second-oldest (and the team’s lone former All-Star) — Joakim Noah — didn’t attend the Thanksgivi­ng dinner because he didn’t travel to Atlanta. Hornacek said New York’s expensive center — who has been relegated to the inactive list for an indefinite period — fell ill. “He’s sick and throwing up, and didn’t want to take a chance with bringing him on the plane with other guys,” the coach said.
