Shaquille O'Neal is verbally 'dragging' Chris Bosh through the mud after Bosh claimed officials were ignoring the Big Diesel’s three-second lane violations during Phoenix’s 133-113 victory over Toronto Friday night.

O'Neal scored 45 points in the victory.

"He was just camping down in the lane," Bosh told reporters after the game Friday. "I mean, if they're not calling three seconds -- I thought it was a rule, but I guess not."

On Sunday, O’Neal told the Arizona Republic he was aware of Bosh’s comments.

"I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before - make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."
