Sabonis could've came over to the NBA in 1991, but decided to play Euro ball instead. Sure he destroyed Europe but do you think he would have done that to prime Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, I don't think so.
If he came over earlier he probably would be on the same level as Robinson and Ewing, very good but not on the same level as Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem or Wilt.
