Basketball reference does some sort of estimate that I am not sure how it is calculated.
I personally have never felt like the basketball reference ORating and DRatings have passed the smell test.
There is a link at the end of the definition below that speaks to methodology for Calculating Individual Offensive and Defensive Ratings. I'm not sure I'm in a position to judge whether NBA.com or BB-Ref (and Dean Oliver) are the better point of reference:
- ORtg - Offensive Rating (available since the 1977-78 season in the NBA); for players it is points produced per 100 posessions, while for teams it is points scored per 100 possessions. This rating was developed by Dean Oliver, author of Basketball on Paper. Please see the article Calculating Individual Offensive and Defensive Ratings for more information.
