Postecoglou gave a speech at the party, which was filmed and shared on social media.

Speaking to his players and to their friends and family, the Spurs head coach said: “I just want to say that I’ve made a big theme for us as a group about family this year [and] how important family is.

“These boys, I’m so proud of them, and the staff. They’ve been the best family could ever be associated with.

“But more importantly, it’s everyone in this round and how you have helped these boys become champions. They truly deserve it. They are outstanding people, not just outstanding players. I couldn’t be prouder to be their manager.

“I want everyone to enjoy tonight and what it means, because you all - every single one of you - deserve it, from the bottom of my heart.

Postecoglou added: “I played a video before the game. It inspired them to win this game today.

“Every single one of them is a champion. Well done, enjoy the night.”
