My MVP Valentine (Chinese: MVP情人) is a 2002 Taiwanese romantic sports teen drama based loosely on two Japanese manga series: Slam Dunk and MVP wa Yuzurenai! (MVPは譲れない!；Can't Give up MVP!). Starring Chinese Taipei basketball star Johnny Yen Hsing-su (who led the 2003 FIBA Asia Championship in assists), it enjoyed huge success throughout Greater China and Southeast Asia. As a result, it is noted for marking the acting debuts of Yen, Angela Chang, Joe Chen Chiao-En and 5566 (all five members had roles in the series), skyrocketing them to fame. This series is also the only project to star Gao Tien-chi, who was also a former basketball player like Johnny Yen, in his acting career.
