Here are some of the best captions for the photo of Lakers guards Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher embracing Tuesday during the team's ring ceremony:

-- "It must be truly special for Derek and Kobe to share moments like that. From rookies in 1996 to 5 time champions in 2010, their journey together has been incredible. Included in that journey have been bitter defeats, including two in the Finals. Those type of experiences help form a bond and basketball brotherhood that no words can describe. The unabashed joy on their faces and the strength and warmth of their embrace says it all." -- bronxlakerfan

-- "The main sentiment and theme that this priceless photo conjures up for me (and please forgive the cliche) is "Brothers In Arms" - because that what these two, and this team, are/is all about." -- Jefe101

-- "I LOVE YOU MAN!!!" -- justanothermambafan

-- "Kobe: Hey Fish, these rings look nice, but a sixth one will look nicer! Fish: Yep, lets' plan another ceremony for this time next year!" Ramneet Singh

-- "We gonna need a box THIS BIG to hold all our rings." -- Jolly Rancher

-- " "Heart and Soul" of the Los Angeles Lakers" -- Kobeyashimarue

-- "Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but eight after all is said and done!" -- jaxxrelax
