Did LeBron really give himself the "King James" nickname?

From ESPN radio NY, apparently he started calling himself that sometime between his sophomore/junior year growing up in a Christian-themed high school.
Dan Gilbert also called him the "Self-proclaimed King".
As for "The Chosen One" wasn't that given to him by Sports Illustrated back in 2002... right?

It was an embarrasing move by Lebron. He should go to New York, he could become a legend there. And I think he'd have a very good sidekick in Amar'e......He did the easy choise, and if he fails he will be remembered as a total loser.

Well, given he has THE CHOSEN ONE tattooed on his back, I wouldn't doubt it.

No...the media gave him that moniker when he graced the cover of SI on a thrown 6 years ago.
