Clearly flashed was used on #2 and the last one.

That was just a really strong spotlight, not flash.

7D with a 24-70L 2.8 lens with no flash...

What is the cause of that shadow behind the subject in the last one?

Wait you're being serious? Take a look at your original files, in the exif data it will show you a shutter speed as well as whether or not an on camera flash was fired.

I don't see how else you would get those shadows with out using flash.

smells of flash considering how the shadow falls on the wall... a close flash at that

Great captures, the lighting seems to be a bit off though.

If a flash or strobe was not used then my guess would be that a monolight or modelling light was used.

There is evidence in #2 and #4 that those were shot with some other light source besides ambient in the gym.

The first and most telling for me is the white balance. Even some of the arenas that the NBA play in the white balance is just not quite there.

In #2 the shadow from the light source is showing and there is motion blur or ghosting caused because the exposure is to close to the ambient settings.

In #4 you can still see the shadow from the light source and since the subject is stationary the motion blur is not there.
