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?

Isn't Jesus the real King?
He also told us about false christs and false prophets that would come along claiming to be the King.

?? I thought the nickname came from his High school days that is what announcers used to call him? His teammates coined that term and Lebron certainly did not discourage the announcers from using it.
