#3 Kevin Durant - 27 awards and counting
Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets has the third-most NBA Player of the Week awards with 27. Durant will surely add more before he retires, which means he could reach as high as second when it's all set and done.

The highest number of Player of the Week awards Kobe Bryant won in a season was five. Bryant did it twice in the 2002-03 and 2005-06 NBA seasons.
