Kevin Durant's getting more hardware to add to his collection ... this time, it's a special HERO AWARD -- after the NBA superstar helped clear traffic for an ambulance responding to an emergency.
The Oklahoma Emergency Medical Services Authority -- which operates the largest fleet of ambulances in OK -- tells TMZ Sports a special medal is already being engraved for Durant for his actions over the weekend.
In case you haven't heard ... Durant pulled up next an ambulance in his Ferrari and used his flashers to help clear road space. Paramedics say Durant's actions helped them navigate through the traffic.
