Hunter famously fell off the stool after son R.J. hit a 30-foot 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left to shock No. 3-seed Baylor and advance the Panthers to the third round of the tournament.
The bobblehead was produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and are individually number to only 2,015.
