The Milwaukee Bucks might be facing their most difficult task of the past few seasons as Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to get older. They're hoping that they can win a championship with him year in and year out.

They are fresh off an NBA title just two seasons ago, but that's not satisfying for this team. Antetokounmpo is known for doing everything in his power to win. Whether that's playing a different position, going harder or improving his game, Giannis will do anything to for his team to succeed.

He's one of the best superstars that this league has ever seen on and off the court for a few different reasons. His story of where he came from is simply amazing, and he also works harder than many others. He's a gifted talent and if he continues his work ethic, the Bucks are going to be a championship-caliber team until the day that he decides to either hang them up or leave the organization.

NBA analyst Zach Lowe from ESPN talked about the Bucks' future:

"The clock is kind of ticking. ... There's a lot at stake for Giannis both historically and for his team this season."

Is the Bucks' clock ticking?

Quite frankly, Lowe's comments don't make sense for a few different reasons.

For one, he's making it seem as if the Milwaukee Bucks didn't just win an NBA title. While also factoring in how young Giannis Antetokounmpo is, the Bucks could be chasing titles for the next 10 years. He's still only 27 years old and has proven to be the best player in this league.

Milwaukee might have to make a few moves here and there and decide what to do with Khris Middleton when the season is over. But even if they do decide to replace him and get somebody else, Milwaukee is still going to be a great spot because of Giannis.

Middleton is also the missing piece that Milwaukee needed a season ago. There's a real argument to be made that the Bucks would have won the title if he was healthy. There's no reason to panic if for any Bucks player or fan, because they have the best player in the world.

The Bucks can win an NBA title this season

The Milwaukee Bucks' championship window is not going to be closed until Giannis Antetokounmpo either retires, or decides to leave the organization. He's just way too good of a player to ever count out. Whenever he's on the court, Milwaukee has a chance of winning a title. He's similar to LeBron James and Stephen Curry in that aspect.

They open their season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursdsay in what could be one of the best games of the year. Both teams have chances of winning a title this year, so expect an exciting contest.
