Anthony Semerad
Anthony Paul David Semerad (born April 25, 1991) is an Australian-born Filipino professional basketball player for the NLEX Road Warriors of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He is also a model and TV host. His twin brother, David, who was his teammate in San Beda is also a professional basketball player for the Blackwater Bossing.
The Semerad twins were born to a Czech father and Filipino mother from Pampanga and raised in Australia. They both studied at San Beda College, graduating with Business Marketing degrees.
The Semerad twins were first recruited by San Beda in 2009. In their first three years with the Red Lions, the brothers were part of a team that had a historical 18–0 season, and two back-to-back championships.
In late 2011, they both left the team due to a falling out with the coaching staff, and opted to play for the Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles in the UAAP. Despite having to sit out two seasons before becoming eligible, the twins were actively practicing with the Blue Eagles, and participated in off-season tournaments such as the Father Martin's Summer Cup as part of Ateneo's Team B. After sitting out one season, they decided to go back to San Beda. With them back in the fold, they won back-to-back titles in NCAA Seasons 89 and 90. He ended his college career with a Finals MVP in his belt.
Semerad was picked 7th overall by GlobalPort Batang Pier in the 2014 PBA draft. On October 26, 2014, days after winning the championship for San Beda, he played his first PBA game with a win against Barako Bull, finishing with 7 points and 6 rebounds.
On May 6, 2017, Semerad was a part of a four-team trade between the NLEX Road Warriors, GlobalPort Batang Pier, Meralco Bolts and TNT KaTropa that sent him to the KaTropa along with Larry Fonacier and J. R. Quiñahan to the Road Warriors, Garvo Lanete to the Bolts, and Bradwyn Guinto, Sean Anthony and Jonathan Grey all to the Batang Pier. As the team's new wing and import stopper, he helped the KaTropa reach the finals of the 2017 Commissioner's Cup but lost to the San Miguel Beermen in six games. On October 4, 2018, he signed a three-year contract extension.
As of the end of 2024–25 season
Semerad is married to Sam Pinto. They became a couple in 2018, got engaged in November 2019 in Australia and married in a civil ceremony on March 8, 2021. On May 5, 2021, his wife announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child. Days later, they said the baby was a girl.
