Stephen Curry's leadership is apparently being questioned.

After Draymond Green was ejected from a game Wednesday, ESPN host Jay Williams said he was receiving messages from "high-level people" who were concerned about the four-time champ's leadership.

"I’m getting texts from people that I really value their decision, high-level people, and what these texts are reading is, ‘Well, how about the leadership of Steph Curry?’ That’s where these conversations are going," Williams said on ESPN's "First Take."

Curry was emotional after Green was ejected. Curry's eyes became misty, and he covered his face with his jersey. However, Williams said people are calling him out for "not controlling Draymond."

"So, in my brain, the way I process that, because I know Steph, I’ve spent time around Steph. Because he’s one of the most competitive dudes you’ll ever meet, Draymond Green is diminishing the ultimate legacy of how people are looking at the leadership of Stephen Curry. That’s what’s happening right now."

Green, who had previously served two suspensions earlier this season, received two technical fouls after arguing with an official, prompting the automatic ejection less than four minutes into Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.
