its funny because he really doesn't believe John 17:3 because Jesus is claiming equality with the Father in eternal life and goes on to say in the context that He was alone together with the Father before creation sharing the same glory together as the eternal Father/Son dynamic Duo od the Godhead.
The same kind of clear declaration about who God is appears in John 17:3 in which Jesus point blank said of the Father that He is "alone the true God" but Jesus is the one who was sent. Two categories here: the Father who is alone the true God and the one sent by Him. There is a sender, a sent, a God, and a non-God in John 17:3.

LOL yeah a real Batman and Robin! (couldn't help myself!)
Jesus didn't share in God's glory - Jesus received his own glory.
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” [Luke 24:26].... this is the glory that Jesus was to receive and it's the glory spoken of in John 17:5 - not a glory he already had but a glory that Jesus was going to receive. Just as we will share in his glory - AT A FUTURE TIME but John 17:22 Jesus speaks as if we have already been given that glory........ The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. [John 7:39]
His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. ..... And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. [John 12:16,23] Jesus was glorified through his death, resurrection and ascension.
Any 'supposed, inferred' equality shared at John 17:3 would be in the fact that eternal life lies in knowing them BOTH, i.e. the Father as the only true God and knowing Jesus Christ whom He has sent ..... the closing argument of the Gospel of John :
John 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
