On today's 'Throwback Thursday' we look back at the reaction five years ago this week, when the world lost music icon Prince. 

On today's 'Throwback Thursday' edition of Current Sports with Al Martin, we take a look back at a show five years ago this week, when we lost music icon Prince. Hear what former MSU men's basketball legend Magic Johnson had to say, as he shares a memory from his time knowing Prince. Also, we take a look back at a Current Sports TV interview with former MSU women's basketball player Branndais Agee. That, and more!
