Suffering from terminal cancer, Army Sgt. Anthony Zavala dreamed of meeting Kobe Bryant.
Last week, nonprofit organization Hounds and Heroes made it happen.
Visiting with Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, at Nokia Theatre prior to “Kobe Up Close Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel,” Zavala was overcome.
“After being diagnosed, I’ve been so depressed knowing I’m going to die,” Zavala said. “This is the best day of my life.”
