His mother, Eva migrated to the United States at 22. She flew from her homeland while pregnant with Adam and carrying her one-year-old son Arthur.
Ariko settled in Boston, where she raised her two sons alone before meeting Patrick. They exposed their boys to sports from an early age.
Seiko’s played basketball at Sierra Canyon High in southern California before joining the San Diego State Aztecs led by Brian Dutcher, whereas Kaluma is a sophomore at Creighton Bluejays.
As they turned pro, their backyard duels amplified. They faced off against each other for the first time professionally in March 2022 when the Aztecs played Creighton in the NCAA tournament.
Moreover, Seiko and Kaluma join their horses as they play together for the Ugandan national team. Adam will aim to beat the Florida Atlantic team under Dusty May.
Adam Seiko Family Background
Adam Seiko family is initially from Uganda, with both his mom and dad being immigrants from the African nation. Eva and Patrick tied the knot in 2008.
Patrick immigrated to the United States in the mid-1980s due to political tensions threatening his safety. His mother, Eva, came to the US in 1998 when she was 22 and settled in Boston.
She lived with her mother, Rose Serumaga, who had emigrated four years earlier. As a single mum, Eva worked tirelessly to provide for her home, working multiple jobs and adjusting her schedule to ensure she could be present for her sons.
Later Eva met Patrick at a Ugandan community wedding, and they eventually became husband and wife in holy matrimony in 2008.
They moved around the country, first in Dallas and eventually taking residence near Phoenix, where Adam and Arthur grew up playing basketball. Despite being introduced to soccer by their father, Adam soon found a passion for basketball, and Arthur quickly followed.
Growing up, Arthur watched his older brother's diligence and dedication to the sport, studying the game and working hard in the gym. When Arthur was in middle school, he asked Adam to help improve his ball-handling skills, and Adam eagerly obliged.
The two began playing competitive games against each other, and Arthur always believed he could beat his older brother one-on-one.
Throughout it all, Adam has been an excellent older brother, nurturing Arthur's competitive spirit rather than squashing it. Their dad, Patrick, admires Adam's ability to manage and foster his brother's competitive nature.
Meanwhile, Eva's journey as an immigrant came full circle when she escorted her boys to AfroBasket 2021 in Rwanda.
She made a promise to both of them that when Adam and Arthur would make the final roster for the Ugandiann national team, she would travel to attend their games and be a part of their supporters.
Adam Seiko Siblings
Adam Seiko has a total of three siblings with his half-brother Arthur Kaluma being the oldest. Seiko also has two younger sisters Abigail and Anna Ariko.
The San Diego State guard was born on February 27, 1998, one year after Arthur. Whereas his two little sisters, Abigail and Anna, were born after Eva and Patric's wedding in 2008.
Abigail Ariko was born in 2012, whereas Anna came to their cherished home two years later, in 2014.
Adam Seiko Brother
Arthur Kaluma is a basketball phenomenon committed to Creighton Bluejays. He previously played for his high school team at Dream City Christian High.
Adam and Arthur are entirely alike in their unwavering dedication and athletic spirit from their childhood. However, Seiko maintained a steadfast commitment to basketball, whereas his half-sibling Arthur displayed a more laid-back and occasionally quirky nature.
Nicknamed "Art", Kaluma had a brief stint at Universal Academy in Dallas, Texas, before attending Dream City Christian High School. Under the coaching of Kyle Weaver, he emerged as one of the top young players in the country.
With interest from many NCAA basketball teams, such as Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M, Kaluma chose to play for the Bluejays in 2021 under the coaching of Greg McDermott.
In his freshman year, the 6-feet-7 inches tall athlete made a starting lineup roster in 30 games out of 31. He was inducted into the BIG EAST’s All-Freshman Team because of his impressive stats of 5.4 REB and 10.4 points average per game.
Moreover, Arthur played for the Ugandan National Team alongside his younger sibling Adam. Their combined effort led Uganda to the quarterfinal of the 2021 AfroBasket.
Conversely, the two half-brothers have clashed contentiously on the basketball field while contending for glory in the NCAA tournament.
In the recent showdown between the Aztecs and Bluejays in March 2023, Adam's team came victorious by one point in the neck wrecking game. However, putting the rivalry aside, the two had a moment with each other as they hugged each other after the final whistle.
